AHC: Have the Middle East transition as smoothly as possible, with a POD of 1939

Your challenge is to have the Middle East prosper (your mileage will vary on what the exact definition is), as smoothly as possible, and with as little civil war or conflict as possible, with a POD of the dawn of the Second World War.
 
I am not sure what you exactly mean with prosper but there is some things:

1. Arabs accept partition of Palestine Mandate territory (foundation of Israel is probably totally unavoidable on this point, if then Axis doesn't win WW2 and it is extremely implausible.) as two nation.

2. Surviving Iraq monarchy.

3. Not Operation Ajax and Iran transfer peacefully to constitutional monarchy where shah haven't any or only little power.

Interesting challenge to have this divergence occur.

BTW, I also write stories for faniction.net, under the name StargateFFWriter.
 
Hitler is assassinated on the 8th of November 1939 by Johann Georg Elser, Goering takes over and doesn't initiate the Holocaust; as a result Israel is not created. This would go a long way to stability in the Middle East

Israel is probably will be found even without Holocaust. There is still massive emigration due very antisemitic politics. Foundation might be bit later anyway. And I think that with Goering there is still genocide altough perhaps not so massive.

There was yes but they still failed to form a majority and they didn't even OTL with the Holocaust until after they expulsed the Palestinians. Without Holocaust the Internal Community' slight anti-Semiticism will still exist and will prevent the formation of Israel.

Anyways the best way is to have the war I. France go differently and have a French victory instead. This way the British Empire isn't so broken and indebted by a long, costly, vicious war. This also means that the U.S. Doesn't get involved and doesn't drastically become more powerful as a result of the war. So with a more powerful Britai, a less powerful US, and no UN Israel simply doesn't occur and Palestine is transitioned to independence possibly as a Hashemite Kingdom.
 
Wasn't the existence of Israel the reason for the birth of Arab Nationalism? It became a major rallying flag, without it I don't think we'd see much coming-together between the countries in North Africa and the Mesopotamian region.
