Eastern Mediterranean Policy of Israel and The Impacts of The Normalization Process on Israel

Israel is trying to open up a new radius of action in the Middle East as well as in the Eastern Mediterranean. The normalization process of Israel, lately which started with the UAE and then continued with Bahrain, was welcomed by Egypt, Jordan, and Oman in the region. This process has been criticized by Iran, Turkey, and Qatar. This process, which can be seen as the beginning of a significant change in the balance of power in the Middle East, is thought to will significantly affect Israel’s foreign policy, especially in the context of the region. This situation has brought the sharp changes in Israel’s foreign policy and possible cooperation with the Arab world into the agenda. The normalization movement conducted in the context of the principle of national and mutual interest offers both parties and other possible states opportunities for more trade and cooperation. This process that begins with the UAE has opened the door for other Arab countries to follow policies in the same way. In this process, in which the negative effects of Israel’s loneliness in the region on itself will be broken, its effect on its foreign policy will be inevitable.
