This study aims to identify the networks of Israeli public diplomacy toward the United States. Using the theoretical frameworks of networked public diplomacy and strategic narrative, the authors try to understand how network strategy is used and information is circulated to create a strategic narrative. Therefore, the two methods of social network analysis and qualitative content analysis are applied to identify the networks of Israeli public diplomacy in the United States and the content produced by it. The study finds that in Israel’s public diplomacy model, the networking method stands in contrast to its government-oriented strategic narrative. Thus, new forms of communication are applied to conduct old strategies. The research identifies four types of actors who apply new public diplomacy techniques and dissects the strategic narrative they employ to affect the American public in the service of Israeli interests. Despite the effort to apply new forms of public diplomacy, strategic narrative production and dissemination remain highly governmental and closed, which is indicative of the persistence of old forms of public diplomacy.

Nonetheless, the Arsacid dynasty worked diligently to sever Iranian society from Western cultural and political influences, aiming to restore independence and strength to the region. Situated at the crossroads of the Eastern and Western worlds - connecting China and India on one side and the Mediterranean and Rome on the other - the Arsacids served as effective intermediaries for the exchange of goods and ideas. The Arsacid culture not only endured in adjacent regions like Central Asia, the Caucasus, or Mesopotamia but also persisted for an extended period in more distant lands such as China and Rome. The Arsacids left behind a profound and lasting legacy.
