The transnational relations between Israel and Greece.

Abstract

Beginning my research on the subject, I would like to extend on the issue, providing to the reader, a more specific and exact view. First of all, the incentive for my thesis was the unstable and very changeable environment that exists at the heart of the south-eastern Mediterranean. The alliances, the disputes, the diplomatic relations and- generally speaking- the activities at a national level - are of great importance for the field of International Relations. One of these relations, which seem to be lately very interesting at the region, is that between the states of Greece and Israel. It is a very promising relation according to many scientists and researchers, which is linked to a broader framework. The new “triangle alliance” formed among Israel, Cyprus and Greece. My main idea, writing my thesis lies on the cooperation in geostrategic policy, industrial activity, international commerce, military action, tourist development and cultural linkages between the two nation-states. The importance of the examined issue is much wider for the international community, if we notice carefully the late incidents at the dispute between Israel and the Palestinian authority. And the last vote for the statehood of the Palestine. Furthermore, I want to present mainly the incorrect view given by the majority of the Greek mass media. To be more specific, during the last decades there is a narrative that is strongly pre-Arabic and is partial to the Palestinian authority. My thesis tries to work as a recommendation, which seeks for a more safe and real information at the issue. And I strongly believe that the Greek state should follow a path of further cooperation and development with Israel. That could be very beneficial for the national security and prosperity for both nations and their people.
