Hello everyone, I am a content writer for Expat Magazine, and we are looking for the testimonials of expats in the Middle East for an upcoming article. We wanted to know if the escalating instability in the Middle East, especially after the missile attacks, is affecting your plans as an expat. Has it affected your plans to stay in or relocate from your current location? Have you changed your short-term and long-term plans? How do you and other expats around you think that this will affect the future of expatriation in the area? Thank you in advance for sharing your testimonials with us.

I will let other comment but to keep it simple, there are two types of expats here:

1) People from the western world

2) People from other 3rd world countries

The first category generally tend to view these sort of events as concerning as they are coming from stable countries. The second category is more or less used to these types of things and it is economically viable for them to stay, depending on which country they are coming from.
