Abstract

Since the beginning of the American campaign against Iraq and even before its occupation, the (Israeli) interest in the Iraqi issue has emerged, and there has been a strong interaction with events in the Gulf region from the first moments of weaving the crisis. This strong interaction reflects the vision of Iraq as an important actor in the Arab-Israeli conflict equation, and thus it was necessary to pay attention to all developments surrounding it and monitor the sequence of events with open eyes. The (Israeli) position on Iraq was governed by suspicion and fear, given the danger and challenge it represented as one of the most important Arab countries that opposed the Israeli entity and carried the banner of confrontation with it, boycotting it since its inception. Through a vociferous national position, the Palestinian cause became the central issue for Arabs, advancing above all other issues and requiring the mobilization of all material and moral efforts to support it. Iraq, in the (Israeli) perception, is a state of confrontation, even if it does not share borders with it, due to its role in the 1948 war and the subsequent confrontations and wars, especially the 1973 war.
