Israel's relations - or lack of them - with Muslim countries
throughout the Middle East and the Islamic world are subject to
repeated analysis and scrutiny in both the media and academia. But
what have previously been less examined are Israel's relationships
with the rest of world: from the former colonial states of Britain
and France to the superpowers of the US and Russia and to emerging
and regional powers such as China, India and Brazil. The diplomatic
ties between Israel and these various world powers have been
determined by numerous factors. A central and dominating one has,
of course, been the Israeli-Palestinian and the Israeli-Arab
conflicts. Yet since the signing of the Oslo Accords in the
mid-1990s, there has been a remarkable development of ties between
Israel and the world on many levels - trade, technology, science,
security and military hardware. However, the development and
strength of these relationships differ from country to country,
from historical epoch to historical epoch. Conventionally seen as a
state isolated from its Arab neighbours and irrevocably allied with
the US, Israel is examined here in the light of efforts to
strengthen diplomatic ties with other powers, such as its
relationship with post-World War II Germany and the EU.
Furthermore, Israel and the World Powers looks at the ways in
which, despite the profound intertwining of Israeli and American
foreign policy, the US-Israeli relationship hasn't always been an
easy one. With most American Jews being broadly of a more liberal
bent than the rest of the US, they often support the peace camp in
Israel, whereas it is the Christian evangelicals in the US that
tend to support the Israeli right. Taking into consideration the
fact that relations with Turkey have cooled significantly following
the raid on the Gaza flotilla in 2008, Israel has been forced to
look even further for support and alliances. It is by looking at
Israel's relations with established and rising world powers that
this book offers vital analysis for researchers of both Middle East
studies and International Relations.
