Post-war borders in Middle East scenario?

Hi, I'm wondering what the borders of the Middle East (and Africa) would look like after WWII, in the following scenario:

Hitler sieges Leningrad & Moscow in 1941; strikes at Baku via Turkey in 1942 (defeating the Soviets); finally, pivots to the Suez Canal.

In the event of an Axis victory, would Italy keep her African colonies? How will the Middle East end up?
 
No Israel, that's for sure. Sure Italy keeps its African territory including Ethiopia. Most Mideast countries would come under Axis rule, either direct or via puppet regimes.

This was what Benito Mussolini desired for his Italian Empire. The dark green represent what was under Italian control in World War II and the light green represents what they desired. Though, I doubt this would've lasted long. For example, here is no way in hell the Muslims of Saudi Arabia (reminder, Saudi Arabia was and still is run by Wahhabists, the same group of people behind Al-Qaeda and Daesh) would ever tolerate a predominately Christian empire claiming domination over the two holiest sides in Islam. Congratulations, Mussolini. You've just given birth to Islamic extremism earlier than in our timeline.

As for Iraq, Palestine and Syria, I can see Hitler installing Arab puppets (think Amin al-Husseini-type figures) as his representatives to oversee the import of oil from the Middle East to the Reich. In regards to Africa, I see Hitler and Mussolini butting heads because Hitler's plans for Africa included reclaiming confiscated German territory, including Togoland and German East Africa.
