The Necessity of Regional Cooperation
He further pointed to the necessity of regional cooperation to address security challenges, stating: "Middle Eastern countries must move towards constructive cooperation instead of destructive rivalries. Otherwise, the existing problems will persist, and collective security will become an unattainable wish."

The Role of Great Powers
This professor also referred to the impact of great powers on the security of the Middle East, stating: "The presence of foreign military bases in the region has, in a way, created tension and distrust among regional countries. This not only harms the national security of the countries but also leads to instability at the regional level." He also added that Middle Eastern countries should seek solutions to mitigate these negative impacts and move towards diplomacy and joint cooperation.
According to the International Law professor, only through serious and constructive cooperation can collective security be achieved in the Middle East, and in this regard, there is a need for strong political will and solidarity among regional countries. Ultimately, he emphasized that sustainable security in the Middle East is only possible through convergence and cooperation among these countries.
