Abstract
This study focuses on the Zionist conflict in Palestine and the most important geopolitical challenges facing the Middle East, particularly the escalating conflict in the Zionist campaign and war on the Gaza Strip due to its strategic importance regionally and globally. The study aims to highlight the geographical and strategic importance of the Gaza Strip, identify the most important features and dimensions of the Zionist conflict and war on the Gaza Strip, identify the importance of energy resources and attempts to control their transport routes, and demonstrate the reasons for implementing the Zionist-American strategy in the Middle East. The Gaza Strip occupies a unique strategic and maritime location and it represents a link between the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe. This location has made it the subject of ongoing geopolitical ambitions, especially by the Zionist entity and the United States. The Zionist-American war on the Gaza Strip seeks to redraw the map of the Middle East, eliminate the resistance, and enable the Zionist entity to control energy and water resources, especially the gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean. This is achieved through American political, military, and economic support, as part of a restructuring of the regional order to serve Israeli national security and American interests. The dominant powers seek to establish new maps of power and control in the Middle East
