The Arab-Israeli conflict has remained one of the most complex and protracted geopolitical crises of the 21st century, with wide-reaching implications for regional and international peace. Therefore, this study investigated how US economic interest in the Middle East have shaped the Arab-Israeli conflict between 2000 to 2023. The theory of Classical Realism was adopted as the theoretical framework of analysis and also adopted qualitative research design in which data were collected from secondary sources like historical documents, review of relevant literature and published articles, presented in tables and figures, and analysed using thematic content analysis method. The study found that the US' economic interests in the region impacted significantly on the Arab-Israeli conflict which contributed to the protraction of the conflict. Arising from these findings, the study recommended amongst others that the US should align its economic interests with peacebuilding through regional economic cooperation and conditional diplomatic engagements and the United States should decouple its economic agenda from its mediation role in the region by supporting the establishment of a multilateral mediation framework under the auspices of the United Nations or a neutral international consortium.
