The Arab world's reaction to the Gaza-Israel conflict is a nuanced blend of historical solidarity with the Palestinians and pragmatic geopolitical considerations, particularly in the face of shared threats like Iran's regional ambitions and the direct impact of regional conflicts on their own security and economic stability.

On one hand, there is a historical and empathetic support for the Palestinian cause among Arab nations. However, this support is tempered by practical concerns, as evidenced by Egypt and Jordan's hesitance to host Palestinian refugees, largely due to fears of importing terrorism and destabilizing their own countries.

This cautious approach highlights the delicate balance these nations must maintain between solidarity with Palestinians and internal security concerns.
 
On the other hand, the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East has seen a shift, with several Arab states, notably Egypt and Saudi Arabia, aligning with Israel on certain strategic interests. A significant factor in this realignment is the shared apprehension regarding Iran's growing influence in the region. Iran's efforts to disrupt the normalization of relations between some Arab countries and Israel have been met with resistance.

Notably, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have taken proactive measures to protect Israel from threats such as missile attacks by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are perceived as Iranian proxies. This cooperation underscores a broader regional realignment, where traditional Arab-Israeli conflicts are increasingly overshadowed by the perceived threat from Iran.
 
Moreover, the economic impact of these conflicts is also a concern for Arab nations. For instance, the decrease in Red Sea activity due to Houthi attacks has led to economic losses for countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. This situation has forced these countries into a delicate position of balancing their public support for the Palestinian cause with the need to address their own security and economic interests.
