There's a bot that crawls around the Family Tree and makes profiles confidential if they mention the wrong part of the world. FS claims this to be a protective measure, but I have never gotten a remotely satisfactory answer to the basic question: protecting whom, and from what exactly?
I figure you have two options: create new profiles to replace the confidential ones, this time being careful not to even breath a word about the Middle East in any place field, or post the specifics (PIDs and names) here, then flag your post for moderator attention, asking to have your request forwarded to the specialty team that deals with confidentiality.

It seems highly unlikely that FamilySearch goes to the work to add this protection for no good reason at all. It would be reasonable to assume that FamilySearch chooses not to share its reasoning with the public as part of its concern for those it is protecting.
When this protection mechanism affects profiles that don't need the protection, we simply patiently ask for the protection to be removed, as @Julia Szent-Györgyi wisely advised.
