Among the others, sectarian issue is the main reason of the Middle East Conflicts. Religion is still the most effective factor on people’s lives in the region. So, the most important actors in the region is clerics and religion scholars to (un)justify politics and In this picture clerics are the first responsible actors of the sectarian issues in the region; because their provocative interpretations yield states and paramilitary groups to flame and escalate the current conflicts. Hence, to solve the conflict, first step should start from the roots which are clerics. They should take positive action and give constructive fatwas for the other sect(s). Herewith, hatred among the sects will mislay justification point and slowly (maybe quickly in non-violent areas) brotherhood will resurrect and it will reflect to the governments as rapprochement demands from the bottom. In this study, Middle East conflict resolution is built up in seven de-escalation steps: Constructive interpretations (Fatwa), rapprochement in domestic level, yielding and reflecting demands from people to the state, positive response from state to intra-state level, deterrence in interstate level, tolerance in international public diplomacy and rapprochement among regional peoples. In this resolution process, Middle East Clerics Union is the first and most important step, Middle East Union as the last, long–term, and ideal highest stage are identified. As a last and long term prediction, the country which can lead this peace process and sectarian approach may become the natural regional leader of the Middle East.
