Abstract

This study analyzes the factors behind the decision of some Arab states to recognize Israel as an independent state. The recognition of Israel by Arab states has had a significant impact on Pakistan’s policy towards America and Israel. Pakistan has no diplomatic relations with Israel, and its passport is invalid. The research sheds light on its relations of Israel with other Muslim states. The study investigated the status of Israel on statehood theories. The study finds that Muslim states recognized Israel for their economic and political interests. The recognition of Israel by Arab states was influenced by various factors, including diplomatic, political, and economic considerations, as Israel is known as the only nuclear state in Middle East countries and getting an influential status in the region. The study concludes that Peaceful coexistence and peace treaties between Arabs and Israel must ensure security guarantees for the Palestinians and should pressure Israel to stop the human rights violations against them. The study recommends that Arab states not forget the Israeli planes about its territory borderlines expansion. This research is qualitative and comparative, both in nature.
