Abstract

This study examines the political diplomacy strategies practiced during the Abbasid Dynasty (750–1258 AD) and their relevance to the Iran-Israel conflict within the dynamics of the contemporary Middle East. The study departs from the reality that the Middle East region continues to be characterized by complex tensions, with Iran and Israel as two major actors confronting each other ideologically, geopolitically, and militarily. Data were collected through library research by examining relevant primary and secondary sources, including scientific journals, Islamic history books, and contemporary policy documents. The analysis was conducted using a qualitative-descriptive approach with a historical-comparative method, linking Abbasid diplomatic practices encompassing balance of power, cross-ideological alliances, and multilateral negotiations with contemporary patterns of the Iran-Israel conflict. The findings indicate that Abbasid diplomatic principles, such as ideological flexibility, external actor engagement, and the management of internal pluralism, carry significant conceptual relevance for understanding and offering a way out of the Iran-Israel diplomatic impasse, which is laden with religious, nuclear, and regional influence competition dimensions.
