Geographically and geopolitically, the Middle East comprises Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, the Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman), and Yemen. In the literature on international relations, the Middle East is also called the Near East or Western Asia.

The states in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of East Africa are ethnically linked as Arab nations, where Arabic is the spoken language and Islam is the predominant religion.
