When you play both ends against the middle, you do or say something which causes two individuals or parties to quarrel.
Examples: ”Atul is the consummate politician. He will tell you one thing and the exact opposite to someone else. He plays both ends against the middle.” * ”If Anand continues to play both ends against the middle the way he has, he is not going to have any friends left.”
