Abstract:

 


This study deals with the strategic narrative that Saudi Arabian and Israeli political elites construct towards Iran in the post-Nuclear Deal period (2015-2020). The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the governments of the two countries have an alliance in the strategic narrative they forge on Iran and if there is, to determine which themes are produced in this course. In the study process, qualitative research method is applied, survey, collection and analysis of data are conducted with qualitative content analysis technique. Speeches delivered by political elites from both countries at multilateral international meetings are surveyed as a primary source. The data, obtained from the surveyed sources, are classified in the categories created within the scope of the research. In studies that deal with the construction of strategic narratives in international politics, there are three different levels of analysis: issue narrative, system narrative and identity narrative. In addition to its focus on identity narrative, this paper examines the alliance relationship in the strategic narrative produced by two different countries against a shared threatening country. In this article, it was observed that both the Saudi Arabian and Israeli governments tried to use the strategic narrative as a tool in foreign policy to balance Iran in the Middle East. It has been concluded that there is a great similarity in the construction of meaning and themes in the strategic narratives built on Iran and that Iran is portrayed to the international community with extremely negative definitions and attributions.
