Answer:-

-Only two Middle Eastern countries are sufficiently self-supplied with their own groundwater: Turkey and Israel are the only two countries (the first more than the second) water self-sufficient, the rest of the countries share the same hydric resources, like the Tigris and Euphrates, that supply many territories with water.

-The Tigris and Euphrates rivers originate in Turkey, but supply many nations with water: as was mentioned before, the Tigris and Euphrates born and supply Turkey with water, but other countries depend on them as well, like Siria, Iran, and Irak.

-Water rights have almost led to international military conflicts: there had been international conflicts related to water, misunderstandings between Egypt, and African countries like Ethiopia or Burundi (where the Nile river born)

-Most nations have tho share water supplies: many countries depend on the same hydric resources, Tigris and Eufrates supply many countries with water, the same the Nile's.
