Updating ME Perceptions After the Field of View Changes Most of the Parameters Since Pandemic

When Dr. Pipes made these pronouncements of the changing worldwide circumstances, the American political sector was in the midst of the most dramatic political paradigm changes in its governance, the Israeli government now adapting to its own changes of political dynamics in the midst of unrest not seen since the 2006 Lebanese uprising; and the Iranian Islamic Regime's upcoming election portending a more intense determination of animosity and hostile intentions; the question is posed: does the situation since the G7 summit provide enough disconcerting issues to update what might have been an earlier prognostication, now heading towards intersecting causes of conflicting intentions such as the fighting for the Temple Mount, a more contentious flashpoint now in evidence. Where will it lead now?
