Yea
Some do, but very minimally. Water is incredibly expensive to truck or transport except by pipe and pipes have a very large infrastructure cost. As a result, most Middle Eastern countries that can afford it have dug deeply into their aquifers and have begun building desalination plants.
Water, all middle eastern countries, excpet lebanon, are water deficit countries. Besides,platinum is currently the most expensive and rare resource throughout the world not just the middle east where its production is not much.
They are desert countries, so while they have sufficient petroleum to pay for fresh water, they do not have direct access to fresh water.
Same reason as Mongols, Chinese, and Romans were fighting: to make their territory bigger.
Many Middle Eastern countries are primarily desert leading to them being unable to provide their citizens with sufficient quantities of freshwater from lakes and rivers. Therefore, they are required to turn to the ocean for water. However, ocean water is salty and unsafe for consumption, so a desalination plant is necessary to make salt water into fresh water that is safe for human consumption.
Yes, there is drinking water in eastern Europe. Countries there are modern and developed.
