GREECE’S “CHANGING” ISRAELI AND “UNCHANGING” EGYPTIAN POLICY

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine Greece’s policies related to Egypt and Israel in the context of regional developments. The issue is not limited to those two countries only. In addition, Athens’ historical perspective on Turkey is also included in the analysis in order to ensure the integrity of the issue. The factors determining the foreign policy of the Greek governments towards Israel are included and the elements of continuity and rupture in that policy are examined throughout the article. A similar method is used related to the Greece-Egypt relations. The reason why Greece’s Israeli policy changed and its Egyptian policy did not change is questioned comparatively through the threat perceptions of Athens. The reasons bringing Israel and Greece closer to each other are dealt with in this context. Accordingly, it has been determined that the two countries first entered a normalization period and then a rapprochement process due to pragmatist reasons in the face of regional developments.
