As a Jewish country, Israel felt that it had a responsibility for Jews that were discriminated against because of their beliefs. This was the case in the Soviet-Israeli relationship where Israel could not establish good relations with a regime that did not allow freedom for the Jews, which tried to assimilate them by force and did not allow them to emigrate to Israel. In a meeting between Golda Meir and Israeli diplomats in Paris in 1958, there was a consensus among the Israeli diplomats and Meir about the grave situation of the Soviet Jewry in the USSR and its implications for the Israeli attitude towards the Soviet Union.
Since its foundation, Israel’s interests in the Middle East have been conditioned by one dominant factor—its security position as a result of the Arab-Israeli dispute. This basic factor underlined Israel’s foreign policy. It led to a drive for military superiority over its Arab neighbours; to a consistent search for arms supply as well as security guarantees by other major powers. It also meant that Israel’s main diplomatic efforts were made towards countries that could potentially help it militarily and economically.
