Are all Middle Eastern countries Arab?
The term Broader or Greater Middle East is used to describe the region that encompasses countries from Morocco in the West to Iran in the East. Using this broad definition, there are a number of non-Arab countries that are part of the Greater Middle East, and these include Iran, Israel, and Turkey. In addition, there is a large non-Arab population living in the Middle East, such as the Kurds, the Berbers, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Israelis and the Turks. So while a majority of the countries of the Middle East are Arab, there is a substantial portion of non-Arab countries and peoples living in the region as well.
