From Alienation to Partnership: Israel–Japan Relation

Meron Medzini

Contemporary Review of the Middle East, 2018, vol. 5, issue 3, 232-240

Abstract: The relations between Japan and Israel, established in 1952, can be divided into two periods. The first between 1952 and 1989 was known as the “the forty wasted years.†They were marked by chill bordering on alienation. The second began in the late 1980s and saw the flourishing of ties. Today, Japan–Israel relations are marked by much warmth and friendship at many levels. What were the causes for the Japanese policy in the early years and what factors led to the drastic change that occurred since then?
