Answer 1
The Arabs and the Israelis have been at war since the Crusades. Most Holy Wars last centuries, such as this one.
Answer 2
The Arab-Israeli Conflict has nothing to do with the Crusades (see the Related Question). The Arab-Israeli Conflict has its origins in the confrontation between immigrant Zionist Jews in the Mandate of Palestine and their interaction with the indigenous Arabs in the 1920s and 1930s. Before that point, the Immigration into the land had been a small trickle and Arabs were not terribly concerned. However, the Jewish immigration in the 1920s was quite large and disruptive. By the mid 1930s, both sides had developed militias which they used both to attack British colonial institutions and each other. In 1947, as UN Resolution 181 was being debated, a full-scale war erupted between the Jewish militias and the Arab militias. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, the Arab States joined in the War which caused it to be internationally recognized and called the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9.
Therefore, the Arab-Israeli Conflict is around one century old.
The Middle East has been the site of innumerable conflicts in the past and it is impossible to specify the total number of wars fought since many wars are called by other names such as a rebellion, revolt or revolution. In modern times, however, there have been at least a dozen skirmishes actually called a "war", inluding the Gulf War and the Franco-Syrian War. By contrast, most consider the Arab-Israeli conflict to be a war but it is not officially named as such.
This assumes that there is only one conflict in the Middle East. Currently, there are dozens of both international, intranational, and political conflicts throughout the Middle East. There have been wars and conflicts in the Middle East for nearly 4500 years, ever since Sargon of Akkad created the world's first empire in Mesopotamia. If you wish to learn about a specific conflict, specify that one by name.
Current conflicts in the Middle East include, but are not limited to:
