خلاصة:
The Zionist regime’s security culture in appreciating opportunities and threats has posed this regime at the heart of the regimes that suffer from many obsessions، so that a security way of thinking governs this regime’s courses of action. As an alienated member that is quite incapable of being integrated with the surrounding environment which has ethnic and invasive characteristics، Israel has been constantly involved in severely securityrelated considerations. This environment has caused the Zionist regime to consider the ethnic-religious minorities in the region as a strategic followup to its own security policies in countering the Muslim countries. Within the framework of its ‘peripheral doctrine’، the Zionist regime has made its plan for establishing alliance with countries and ethnic-religious minorities the top priority of its foreign policy، and established links with the ethnicreligious minorities in the region. This article studies the role and status of the ethnic-religious minorities in Israel’s foreign policy by using the omni balance theory. This article has addressed the developments in Druze settlements، the Maronites in Lebanon، and the Kurd in Iraq.
ملخص الجهاز:
The main question of this article is: what considerations is the foreign policy of the Zionist regime based on, and what variables has it been influenced by, regarding the developments in the minority-populated regions of the Middle East, including the Kurdish regions of Iraq, the Druze regions of Syria and Lebanon, and the Maronites of Lebanon?
" The present research, relying on and utilizing the theory of comprehensive balancing, seeks to analyze its specific aspects and examines the foreign policy of the Zionist regime as an agent against the changing security structure of the region and the minority-populated parts of the Middle East as an important center for the role-playing of ethno-religious actors in the arena of politics and government in the region.
Given the case study and the examination of the foreign policy of the Zionist regime based on the theory of comprehensive balancing, it seems that this theory has the capability to explain and respond to the question of what the policy of the Zionist regime is regarding the developments in the minority-populated regions of neighboring countries, including the Druze-populated areas of Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, the Maronites of Lebanon, and the Kurdish regions of Iraq.
According to this doctrine, to establish links with the region, Israel must exploit existing opportunities and increase its relations with non-Arab countries in the region, such as Turkey and Iran, and with the ethno-religious minorities of the Middle East who are under pressure from the Arab world.
