Emerging Powers and Israel's Trans-Regional Foreign Policy

The most important feature of Israel foreign policy is an attempt to survive, ensure national security and compensation for deficiencies due to the lack balanced and normal regional relations, especially with the neighbours. An Important Feature of Israeli Foreign Policy in the new century has been the attempt to develop relations with emerging powers, including members of the BRICS. The present study, while describing and explaining the various dimensions of Israel's relations with the emerging powers in the political, military and economic fields and explaining Israel's trans-regional foreign policy in the framework of its relations with the emerging powers, answers the question why the role of emerging powers in Israel's trans-regional foreign policy has been increasing since 2010? This Study with using a descriptive-explanatory method, seeks to examine the hypothesis that the growing role of emerging powers in Israel’s foreign policy is affected by a set of factors at the internal, regional and international levels. The findings of this study show that at the domestic level, factors such as the importance of growth and economic development and historical mentality of Israeli leaders to gain support of powers; at the regional level, factors such as The dilemma of regional isolation in the Middle East and the inefficiency of periphery doctrine; at global level factors such as the importance of the role emerging powers in the international system and Tel Aviv's uncertainty about the support of western powers, has been effective in adopting this approach in Israeli foreign policy.
