Abstract

Tema rada je tajna diplomacija Izraela na Bliskom istoku, regiji obilježenoj povijesnim sukobima, složenim političkim odnosima i dubokim kulturnim razlikama. Tajna diplomacija definira se kao oblik diskretnog diplomatskog djelovanja koji omogućuje postizanje dogovora izvan vidokruga javnosti i medija, čime se otvara prostor za fleksibilnije pregovore o osjetljivim pitanjima. Kroz primjere poput pregovora u Camp Davidu, Sporazuma iz Osla, Operacije Entebbe, tajnih pregovora oko Golanske visoravni te Abrahamovih sporazuma, istražuje se kako je Izrael koristio tajne kanale za rješavanje ključnih sigurnosnih, političkih i teritorijalnih pitanja. U pojedinim su situacijama izraelske obavještajne službe, poput Mossada, imale osobito važnu ulogu u provedbi tajnih pregovora, omogućujući sigurnost i podršku tijekom osjetljivih diplomatskih procesa. Iako tajna diplomacija ima mnoge prednosti, uključujući smanjenje političkog pritiska, povećanje diskrecije i izgradnju povjerenja, rad ukazuje i na izazove kao što su nedostatak transparentnosti i ograničena podrška javnosti.Tajna diplomacija ostaje ključan alat za rješavanje osjetljivih međunarodnih pitanja, osobito u regijama poput Bliskog istoka. Međutim, dugoročni uspjeh zahtijeva uravnotežen pristup koji kombinira tajnost s transparentnošću i uključivanjem javnosti kako bi se osigurala održivost postignutih sporazuma.

Abstract (english)

The topic of the paper is Israel's secret diplomacy in the Middle East, a region marked by historical conflicts, complex political relations and deep cultural differences. Secret diplomacy is defined as a form of discreet diplomatic action that allows for reaching agreements outside the public and media, thus opening up space for more flexible negotiations on sensitive issues. Through examples such as the Camp David negotiations, the Oslo Accords, Operation Entebbe, the secret negotiations over the Golan Heights and the Abraham Accords, it is explored how Israel has used secret channels to resolve key security, political and territorial issues. In some situations, Israeli intelligence services, such as Mossad, have played a particularly important role in conducting secret negotiations, providing security and support during sensitive diplomatic processes. While secret diplomacy has many advantages, including reducing political pressure, increasing discretion and building trust, the paper also points to challenges such as a lack of transparency and limited public support. Secret diplomacy remains a key tool for resolving sensitive international issues, especially in regions such as the Middle East. However, long-term success requires a balanced approach that combines secrecy with transparency and public involvement to ensure the sustainability of agreements reached.
