Скачать или смотреть How Israel Became Isolated: Cold War Politics, UN Battles, and Global Diplomatic Shifts (1967–1991)

This episode examines how Israel, despite winning key regional wars, became one of the most isolated nations in the international system during the Cold War.
After the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel faced growing diplomatic challenges, intense UN criticism, and shifting alliances across the world.

We explore the geopolitical forces that shaped Israel’s isolation:
• How the UN General Assembly, backed by Arab states, the Soviet bloc, and the Non-Aligned Movement, passed dozens of anti-Israel resolutions.
• The PLO’s arrival at the United Nations in 1974 and the global impact of Resolution 3379, which labeled Zionism as racism.
• The Soviet Union’s dramatic shift from early support for Israel to full-scale hostility.
• Western Europe’s post-1973 policy reversal driven by oil dependence, détente, and pressure from the Arab world.
• How Asia and Africa distanced themselves from Israel despite earlier cooperation and development partnerships.
• Latin America’s more stable—but still fluctuating—relationship with Israel.

By tracing these political, economic, and ideological dynamics, the video reveals how global Cold War competition shaped Israel’s foreign relations and set the stage for major diplomatic changes in the post-1991 era.
