Britain's Middle East policy in the post Brexit period Case study: British-Israeli relations

The aim of the present study was to analyze the policy of the British Middle East in the postwar period with an emphasis on relations with Israel. In this regard, the factors affecting the continuation of bilateral relations between the two countries, including economic, military and cyber security factors, were examined. The results of the research, which was conducted in a future research method, showed that according to the future research approach and using scenario writing method, three categories of "desirable", "probable" and "possible" scenarios can be proposed for Anglo-Jewish relations; For Britain, the continuation of the London-Tel Aviv relationship, more in line with the United States, is to support Israel's policies toward Palestine, to counter the rise of anti-British powers and resistance groups that Britain will take advantage of. Therefore, the continuation of relations with Israel in the political-security and economic fields will be one of the most important priorities of Britain in the post-transition period. Possible scenarios include Britain's neutral policy toward Israel, the signing of arms and military agreements with Arab countries, Israel's close ties with Israel, and its continued support for a nuclear deal with Iran. The escalation of the conflict between Israel and Britain and the lack of attention to Iran's missile activities are among the possible scenarios in the relations between the two countries.
