Factors and Contexts of Divergence Between the United Kingdom and the Zionist Regime
Keywords:
divergence, convergence, United Kingdom, Zionist regimeAbstract
Global and regional developments in recent years have led to major changes in international relations. The relationship between the United Kingdom and the Zionist regime is no exception to this trend. These two entities, which have a long history of political and economic cooperation, have faced new challenges that contribute to their divergence. The present article examines the factors and contexts of divergence between the United Kingdom and the Zionist regime. The central question is: what factors contribute to the occurrence of divergence in the relations between the United Kingdom and the Zionist regime? The method of data collection is library research, and the data analysis method is descriptive-analytical. The findings of the study indicate that factors such as domestic political changes in the United Kingdom, the impacts of economic crises, and security developments in the Middle East play a significant role in shaping this divergence. On the other hand, public opinion and social movements in the United Kingdom, particularly regarding human rights and the Palestinian issue, can exert pressure to shift government approaches.
