The ceasefire announced in January 2025 by Israel and Hamas was celebrated by both sides after months of mediation by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt. However, lasting peace depends on a series of demands both parties agreed to.
Beyond the Gaza conflict, the Middle East continues to grapple with civil wars and political instability in countries such as Syria and Iraq.
This graphic presents the results of a survey conducted by Ipsos, which asked people in different countries if they believe the conflicts in the Middle East will end in 2025.

I think you honestly have to ask about each one instead of the whole region. I don't think it is likely at all that the entire region will suddenly have peace. Places like Afghanistan have been only getting more volatile in recent months with Pakistan and thats a conflict that isnt even talked about much.
Both Turkey and Iran have used external military operations to distract from issues within the respective countries and protests against the governments. We could possibly see a ramp up there and if the Supreme Leader of Iran passes away, after all he is 85, there is going to be a power vacuum for the first time in a while.

Not at all. When you look at the history of this region you'll know it's still a long way to go.
