以色列发展与库尔德人关系的主要动机是牵制与以色列敌对的阿拉伯国家和伊斯兰国家。以色列一度表示支持库尔德人建立独立国家，自2017年以来，以库尔德人的“独立公投”为契机，以色列与伊拉克库尔德人在政治、军事、经济，尤其是石油贸易方面开展了广泛交流与合作。对于土耳其和叙利亚境内的库尔德人，近几年来以色列也与之存在不同程度的联系与合作。以色列对库尔德人的政策主要基于国家安全和外交战略的考虑，会根据地区形势变化对不同国家的库尔德人采取不同的政策，其库尔德政策缺乏整体性和连贯性；而不同国家的库尔德人、不同的库尔德政党考虑到本区域主要伊斯兰国家的立场，对发展与以色列的关系也存在疑虑和分歧。这种情形导致以色列与库尔德人之间的关系具有权宜性和相互利用的特点，较多地受到中东地缘政治环境变化的影响，呈现隐秘性和不对等性，同时缺乏稳定性和持久性。
The main motivation of Israel actively developing relations with the Kurds is to contain its hostile Arab/Islamic countries. Israel once supported the Kurds to establish an independent state. Taking advantage of the Kurdish “independence referendum” in 2017，the two sides have developed extensive political，military，exchanges and cooperation，especially in the oil trade area. In addition，Israel conducts cooperation with the Kurds in Turkey and Syria to varying degrees. Israel’s Kurdish policy is mainly based on national security and diplomatic strategies. Different policies have been adopted for Kurds in different countries in accordance with changes of the regional situation. Israel’s Kurdish policy lacks generality and coherence. Kurds in different countries and different Kurdish parties take into account the positions of major Islamic countries in the region，and have doubts and different views on developing relations with Israel. This situation has led to the expediency and mutual utilization in the relationship between Israel and the Kurds. This relationship is more influenced by changes of the geopolitical environment in the Middle East. It displays the characteristics of secrecy and inequality，and meanwhile lacks stability and durability.
