The present article addressed the causes of the divergence of the Kurds of the Middle East in the ISIL era. The main question in this studied what are the reasons for the divergence of the Kurds in the ISIL and post-ISIL eras? The findings show that the Syrian Kurds took control of the Kurdish-held areas autonomously in the unique opportunity created by ISIL. in Iraq also provided an opportunity for the Kurdistan Regional Government to take action toward controlling and capturing of Kirkuk and implemented the "Iraqi Kurdistan Independence" plan. But this action failed due to withdrawal of Peshmerga forces from Kirkuk and quitting the results of the referendum. The plan for Kurdish autonomy is ambiguous due to the occupation of part of the Kurdish by Turkey in Syria. the hypothesis of this research is based on the fact that, the most important reasons for the Kurds' failure to converge must be attributed to internal disputes between different groups, the opposition of neighboring countries to Kurdish independence. In addition, the opposition of the UnitedStates must be added to these reasons. The present research is descriptive-analytical and reviewed the issue within the framework of neoclassical realism.
