Israel has initiated some covert extensive cooperation with Kurdish people and direct presence in the region and with infiltrating the social economic activities of Kurdistan seeks for a new strategic ally in the Middle East base on the alliance of the Periphery doctrine. This issue has increased the regional countries' sensitivity, especially the four countries of Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria to the interactions of the Kurdish and Israel and has provoked the news and scandals concerning the Israel's presence and influence in the region in a way that some of them have been exaggerated in the various media.
