Abstract EN

This study aims at investigating motives, objectives, and the problems behind the development of the Pakistan Israeli relations since the Pakistanian relations with Israel has no longer been secret, and the out look new look to these relations concerning the nature of these relations during the previous stage of the Istanbul's meeting on September 1, 2005, when Pakistan's foreign minister met his Israeli counterpart in Istanbul.

Pakistanian president (Pervez Musharraf) announced that his country will take steps to establish a full diplomatic relations with Israel if the progress has achieved in the peace process in the Middle East.

He said only after the creation of a Palestinian state with al-Quds (Jerusalem) as a capital city would Pakistan recognize Israel.

Also, the study aims at recognizing the obstacles which face the relations between the two states in the future, and the influence of these relations on the Arab's issues, especially the Palestinian problem.

, By using the historical and analytical method, the study shows that both countries have objectives and many strategic, political, economical, and military motives behind their attempts to improve their relations.

General Musharraf wants Pakistanis to believe that recognizing Israel will be good for their country, saying that endless and vital advantages will begin to flow to Pakistan once it normalizes relations with Israel.

This is an Israeli demand advanced through the agency of the US government.

But there are many obstacles before the full normalization of their relations.

Also, the study shows that the normalization relations will have bad effects on Pakistan Arab relations especially on Palestinian question, although Pakistan has so for been remained steadfast in its support to the Palestinian cause.

Finally, the study shows that establishing full relations between Pakistan and Israel is emin, because of the Pakistanian Islamic commitments, its role in the Organization of Islamic Conference, its position towards the Palestinian question, and its obligations towards al-Quds (Jerusalem) obligations did not prevent Pakistan from closing its ties with Israel.

On the other hand, it becomes clear that Palestinian question did not form a pure Pakistanian interest vis-a-vis its other interests.

Therefore, Pakistan will follow many ways to normalization its relations with Israel when she overcomes all the problems especially the strong internal opposition.
