The relationship between troubles with development in the Middle East and Israel had always been bad since the 1800s up to the present day. Middle East has been bugged with intra-regional conflict, competition of superpower and domestic unrest. Israel, on the other hand, has always been shaped by hostility from a large part of the Muslim and Arab countries/regions – this led to conflict with the country’s national discourse and politics.
Although Israel no longer faces military threat today, they are now facing supra-conventional threat from Iran and other neighboring foes through the development of nuclear arsenal and high-trajectory fire arsenals such as rockets and missiles. Without enough resources to counter any threat from their foes, Israel’s infrastructure and cities are at risk for potential missile threat from other Middle Eastern regions.
Your answer should be similar to the following- Some Middle Eastern countries do not recognize Israels existence, so they invaded Israel. Israel has successfully blocked the attacks, so there are still tensions. All money that could be used for development is used for military purposes.
