Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to examine the foreign policy options available to the Islamic Republic of Iran concerning the Palestinian issue. By employing a qualitative research methodology, we conducted interviews with 21 experts specializing in political science, management, future studies, and history. Additionally, administrators from the Palestinian embassy in Tehran were included in the sample. The experts and administrators were selected through the snowball sampling method. The interviews were carried out until saturation was reached. Subsequently, a thematic analysis was performed, resulting in the identification of 10 key themes. The findings revealed potential, likely, and desirable foreign policy scenarios for the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the Palestinian issue. Among these scenarios, the preferred option is the establishment of democracy and the formation of a unified state in Palestine through a referendum.
