Abstract
The paper analyzes the Kurdish issue in present-day Iraq and how it affects today’s constellation of forces in the Middle East. Emphasis is placed on Israeli-Iraqi Kurdish relations and ties. First, how the state of Israel has supported the Iraqi Kurds in their struggle to gain greater autonomy within Iraq, and finally independence, since its inception. Secondly, it shows the history of Israeli-Iraqi Kurdish relations and how they developed. Namely, what role did the Iraqi Kurds once play in Israels conflict with the Arab states, what role do they have now and what role can they play in the future. At the end of the paper, predictions are made about the future of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, whether as an independent state or within a confederated Iraq.
