The Zionist regime is engaged in identity and legitimacy issues among the people and countries of the West Asian region and uses all means to solve them, and normalizing relations is one of the main options for resolving this crisis. If this process extends from the government space to the people, this relationship will be sustainable. Therefore, the Zionist regime has taken steps using cultural diplomacy to create a way to penetrate the region and Iran in addition to creating strong allies. This research, which was conducted using the method of document study and semi-structured interviews with expert figures until saturation was reached and in the data processing stage, using the content analysis method, seeks to examine the tools and components of the Zionist regime's cultural diplomacy in the issue of normalizing relations with the UAE in order to identify the ways of its cultural influence in different countries. The findings were obtained in the form of 30 organizing themes and 6 overarching themes: “Public Diplomacy, Tools and Components”, “Requirements and Backgrounds for Normalizing Relations with the Zionist Regime”, “Normalizing Relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran (Making Enemies)”, “The Importance of the West Asian Region, Especially the UAE (Making the Groundwork)”, “Key Players”, and “The Perspective of the Zionist Regime's Relations with the West Asian Region”, each of which was described in detail in accordance with the research questions.
