Pakistan’s Foreign Policy toward the Palestine–Israel War: An Ideological Analysis

Abstract

Pakistan’s foreign policy toward the Palestine–Israel conflict has historically been shaped by ideological commitments, religious identity, and diplomatic considerations. Since its creation in 1947, Pakistan has consistently supported the Palestinian cause and refused to recognize Israel, emphasizing justice, self-determination, and solidarity with oppressed Muslim communities. This study examines Pakistan’s foreign policy toward the Palestine–Israel war through an ideological lens national by analyzing the role of Islamic principles, Pakistan’s ideology, domestic politics, and international alliances. Using qualitative and analytical methods, including historical and policy analysis, the research explores Pakistan’s diplomatic stance in the United Nations, relations with Muslim countries, and strategic considerations in the modern global order. The study argues that Pakistan’s policy is rooted in ideological commitment to Palestine, influenced by its identity as an Islamic republic and by public opinion within Pakistan. The research contributes to understanding Pakistan’s foreign policy behavior and the ideological foundations of its international relations.
