Introduction 

The relevance of the research topic and the degree of knowledge of the problem. Global 

geostrategic shifts at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries led to a change in the international status of 

the Middle East. Modern international relations, even after the formal end of the era of bloc 

confrontation, are still characterized by a high level of conflict. The processes of globalization have 

led to the expansion of the range of participants in international disputes, in which not only 

neighboring countries are involved, but also the world powers that are geographically far from 

them. 

The relevance of this work is determined by the fact that the relations of the region's states 

among themselves and, first, Israel with Arab countries, as well as between them and the main 

world actors in the 90s-2000s, have experienced a significant evolution. So, in the 90s. there was 

a sharp weakening of Russia's influence in the Arab East and the strengthening of the US

position as a leader in the Middle East settlement process, so that by the middle of the second 

decade of the 21st century the situation would change again towards the growth of authority of 

the Russian Federation in the Middle and Near East; the process of Israel’s relations with the 

Palestinians and Arab countries in the context of the resolution of the Palestinian issue, from 

optimism in the early 1990s to a new deadlock at the beginning of the 21st century, was also 

ambiguous. At the present stage, a wide range of problems and contradictions characterizes 

relations in Middle Eastern countries. 

The Middle East conflict is the longest of all the unresolved conflicts in the world, and the 

process of its peaceful settlement has remained the most relevant for the entire world community 

for more than a decade. In order to ease the tense situation in the region, the most influential 

states, as well as major international organizations, are trying with all their might to resolve the 

conflict by peaceful means. However, despite all these efforts, attempts at peacemaking did not 

lead to strong and long-lasting results, and in the degree of conflict potential of the region, the 

conflict has a pronounced tendency to increase. 

The relevance of the topic of the dissertation research is also due to the need for a deeper 

understanding of the development of modern international relations in the Middle East region, 

which is one of the key areas of foreign policy of leading world and regional powers, including 

Israel. The study of this topic allows a more fully understanding of the content of the modern 

policy of the State of Israel, as well as reveal the internal springs and mechanisms for the 

formation of the foreign policy of the Jewish state. 

In this respect, international relations in the Middle East and Israel’s relations with its Arab 

neighbors, as well as with world and regional powers, including Palestinian issues, have always 

been the focus of scholars. Over the past 3 decades, a great deal of work has been done in 

covering Middle Eastern themes. In many countries of the world during this time, thousands of 

works have been published. Naturally, in the first place, international relations in the Arab East 

and, in particular, the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation constantly remain at the epicenter of the 

interests of Israeli politicians1, diplomats2and international scholars3.

TheworksofArabauthors4 and specialists from non-Arab countries of the region5are also of 

major importance. 

Among the works of authors from countries outside the Middle East, first has to be noted the 

world-famous work of Zbigniew Brzezinski “The Great Chess Board”6. The book is a reflection 

on America’s geopolitical power and on the strategies by which this power can be achieved in 

the 21st century. Brzezinski focuses most of his attention on the US geopolitical strategy 

regarding Eurasia. He believed that the primacy on the Eurasian continent is in fact the primacy 

in the world, and considered one of the most important US strategic goals of their dominance in 

the Middle East. The dissertation also used other works by this analyst7. Another well-known 

American internationalist and Middle Eastern specialist, Henry Kissinger, also paid special 

attention to studying the situation in the Middle Eastin a number of his works8

Among Russian researchers, first, it should be noted the work of a well-known specialist in 

Middle Eastern issues, academician Yevgeny Primakov9, Director of the Institute of the Middle 

East Yevgeny Satanovsky10, George Mirsky11and others. In Moldova, such researchers are 

engaged in the Middle East theme asSuchevyanu Natalia, GrosuRuslana, Victor Zhuk, Victor 

Moraru, Diana Benkech and some young researchers from Israel and neighboring countries, who 

defended their dissertations or are continuing their PhD studies in Moldova12. This topic has not 

remained outside the attention of Romanian specialists13as well.

Working hypothesis: The Middle East conflict can only be resolved through political and 

diplomatic means, but every peace agreement is followed by a new confrontation. 

We set ourselves the appropriate goals and objectives based on the relevance and degree of 

knowledge of the problem. The purpose of this work is to identify the role and significance of 

relations between Israel and the Palestinians, with the countries of the Arab East, with the world 

and regional non-Arab powers at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries and their influence on the 

prospects for solving the Palestinian issue. 

The set goal made it necessary to solve the following tasks: 

- characterize the perception of Israeli, Arab, Western, Russian, Moldavian and Romanian 

researchers, diplomats and representatives of political elites on the emergence, state and 

prospects of resolving the Palestinian issue, on the role of great world and Middle Eastern 

powers in this; 

- reveal the theoretical and methodological basis of the question of the relationship of Israel 

with the Arab states, great powers and Palestinians; 

- study the genesis of the Middle East confrontation, the Arab-Israeli wars of 1948-1982 and 

the subsequent evolution of relations between the State of Israel and its neighbors at the end of 

the 20th and early 21st centuries based on the entire available complex of sources; 

- consider the nature and effectiveness of the regional strategy for finding allies by Israel; 

- analyze the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its causes, evolution and current state; 

- investigate in this connection the question of the establishment of a Palestinian state, the 

status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees and Israeli settlements in the occupied (disputed) Arab 

territories;  

- study and analyze the strategic partnership of Israel and the United States on the Palestinian 

issue, the dynamics of its manifestations in 1991-2018 and the prospects for cooperation; 

- reveal the Israeli-Palestinian vector of foreign policy of European and regional powers; 

- study the approaches of the regional neighbors of the Jewish state to the Palestinian 

settlement process in 1991-2018, the mechanism and effectiveness of the so-called “new 

peripheral strategy” of Israel;

- consider the prospects of the Middle East settlementthrough the prism of documents and 

scientific literature of the end of the XX-th - the beginning of the XXI-th centuries. 

Methodological base and research methods.The work is based on the following principles: 

historicism, which allows to bring out the laws of development of the foreign policy of Middle 

Eastern countries at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries; objectivity, which requires a 

comprehensive consideration of factors affecting foreign policy and its generating conditions; the 

unity of the logical and historical, requiring a combination of studying the history of the object 

(foreign policy of Middle Eastern countries) with the theory (ie, structure, functions and 

relations), as well as with the development prospects. 

At the same time, this work also relies on scientific principles formulated in the framework of 

theories of political realism and neorealism14, allowing to understand the features of the 

functioning of interstate relations in general and the foreign policy of world powers, individual 

Middle Eastern states at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, including Israel, in particular, and the 

Palestinian National Autonomy. The study of the topic is carried out based on a comprehensive 

analysis of documentary materials on the foreign policy of the states of the region with the 

establishment of cause-effect relationships in the chronological sequence of events and their 

concrete historical interpretation. 

Various research methods such as descriptive, analytical, content analysis, institutional, 

comparative analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, retrospective and interpretative, 

etc. were usedin disclosing this topic. 

Scientific novelty of the work. For the first time in the Republic of Moldova, the present 

study comprehensively investigated the Palestinian problem and the international military-

diplomatic struggle for its fair resolution at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries in all their 

versatility; the views of experts, diplomats and politicians from different countries on this issue 

are shown and analyzed; it reviewed the degree of knowledge of the problem and carried out an 

analysis of expert assessments of Arab-Israeli relations; foreign policy priorities of Israel and 

other states in the context of the Palestinian issue were further analyzed based on collections of 

documents and memoirs of participants of events published in different countries, of scientific

literature published at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries; the state and evolution of the relations 

of the SI with the countries of the West, Russia, and Middle Eastern neighbors in the period 

1991-2018 has been determined; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its genesis and current state, the 

strategic partnership of Israel and the United States on the Palestinian issue, the role of other 

world and regional powers in the Middle East settlement are revealed and analyzed. Special 

attention is paid to the analysis of the historiography of the last quarter of a century. 

It is important to analyze the data that have been little studied in the research literature of the 

Republic of Moldova and the State of Israel and which are not well known to the general public, 

documents and scientific literature in English, Russian, Romanian, French, Arabic and Hebrew. 

They make it possible to more fully assess the motives of the Israeli leadership’s domestic and 

foreign policy on the Palestinian issue, as well as to identify the main alternatives of domestic and 

international behavior discussed by the ruling circles and the public of the Israeli State in 

addressing this issue. 

The theoretical value of the thesis consists in the development of a scientific study of the 

domestic and foreign policy actions of the State of Israel using the principles of inter-

disciplinarity and pluri-disciplinarity. 

Understanding that political science is in constant development, the author realizes the need 

for further study of this subject.. 

The applied value of the studyconsists in the following: 

- provides the university academic environment of the RM and SI with relevant scientific 

materials on the role of Israel in the international arena and the place of the Palestinian 

perspective in its domestic and foreign policy; 

- supplements the categorial apparatus of the political science of Moldova with the following 

concepts and expressions: “the state resilience of Israel”, “the foreign policy actions of Israel”, 

“the foreign policy system of Israel”; 

- formulates some scientific and practical recommendations on the prospects for a Middle 

East settlement; 

The results can be used as a basis for further research on foreign and domestic policy of the 

State of Israel, including the development of university disciplines for the countries of the 

Middle East.

The practical significance of the work consists in analyzing one of the important segments 

of international relations in the post-cold war period, which significantly influenced the situation 

in the Middle East region. The Palestinian-Israeli relations have been studied in detail and 

significant scientific and memoir literature has been analyzed on this topic. The conclusions of 

the author may have a certain value for politicians and workers of the foreign affairs agencies of 

Israel, Palestine and other countries interacting with them in the international arena. Materials of 

the work can be used to write monographs, textbooks, lecture courses on conflicts, international 

relations and modern history, as well as serve as supporting material for political scientists, 

historians, diplomats and other specialists in international affairs. 

Source base. This study is based on sources that are diverse in nature and content. The 

foundation of the source base form the published documents. The author studied and synthesized 

a large amount of information contained in official documents and analytical materials. These 

are, first, documents of various state structures and international organizations, revealing the 

internal and international position of Israel and Palestine, some foreign policy documents and 

statements of officials of different countries on the issue under study, publications of 

international experts. 

Of particular value in this regard are the collections of documents published, which allow an 

unbiased study and analysis of the issue under study: both the internal situation in the State of 

Israel and Palestine, the mood of the Arab and Jewish populations, and the international situation 

around the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. 

Sources from various international organizations were used in the thesis15, first of all the 

UN16. The significant role of Israel in the work of the United Nations has predetermined the need
