This video breaks it down so well, or more accurately, Peter Zeihan breaks it down superbly. This is an apolitical take on the region, devoid of any accusations of guilt or political bias, although calling Gaza an "open air prison camp" is only speaking honestly, because that is exactly what it is, hemmed in on all sides by Israel and reliant on outside sources for 90% of its food and 100% of its gas and electricity.
For those who won't watch the video, I'll give you a quick primer: There are 4 groups in play here:
Arabs: These are the Sunni Muslims, which are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, and assorted other countries.
Turks: These are the more secular Muslims that are not hardline extremists like many Sunni Muslims
Shiites: These are the Persians, or Iranians, mortal enemies of the Sunni Muslims.
Jews: This is Israel.
The breakdown is this: The United States is working to isolate Iran by brokering a peace deal between the Sunni Muslims and Israel, and if you might remember, this new generation of rulers in Saudi Arabia are amenable to this idea, and there was going to be a "normalization" of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel right before Hamas slaughtered Israeli civilians. This has now been put on hold.
Iran is the ally of Palestinians, as it is of Hamas and Hezbollah.
