Abstract
The future geopolitical position of the Zionist regime in West Asia is influenced by various social, economic, political, cultural, military, and technological drivers. This study, using a descriptive-analytical approach and a mixed-methods design, seeks to outline the conceptual framework of the regime’s geopolitical position. Data was collected through literature review and interviews.Findings indicate that by integrating trends, events, images, actions, structures, and key actors, a suitable framework for future studies on the Zionist regime’s geopolitical position is proposed. Significant events and images include the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, the martyrdom of resistance leaders, the Nile-to-Euphrates plan, the vision of a global Jewish state, and Quranic references (Surah Al-Isra, verses 4-5). Key strategies involve normalization of relations, comprehensive aggression, the peripheral doctrine, the New Middle East strategy, and resistance groups acquiring advanced military technology. The dominant international structure is identified as uni-multipolar, with key actors including the U.S., China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran.
