ABSTRACT Pakistan is among the Muslim Islamic states that do not recognise and/or maintain diplomatic relations with Israel. Yet this situation has been changing dramatically as various Muslim states are establishing and/or seriously considering relations with Israel. In recent years, Israel’s relations with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have marked an unprecedented improvement as the focus of many Arab countries has shifted from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to countering Iranian influence. India’s ability to maintain close relations with Israel while maintaining good relations with many Middle Eastern countries and the Palestinians is seen by Pakistan’s political elite as a strong reason for the need to have normal relations with the Jewish state. The article argues that the prospects of an Israel-Pakistan rapprochement are very dim at present due to continuing salience of ideological nature of the Pakistani state and the growing Islamist orientation of its people.

巴以和解的前景

摘要 巴基斯坦是不承认和/或与以色列保持外交关系的穆斯林伊斯兰国家之一。然而，随着各个穆斯林国家正在建立和/或认真考虑与以色列的关系，这种情况已经发生了巨大变化。近年来，随着许多阿拉伯国家的关注焦点从以巴冲突转向对抗伊朗的影响，以色列与沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国的关系取得了前所未有的改善。印度有能力与以色列保持密切关系，同时与许多中东国家和巴勒斯坦人保持良好关系，这被巴基斯坦的政治精英视为需要与这个犹太国家保持正常关系的有力理由。
