Education in the Palestinian Authority: A combination of Palestinian ethos, incitement and deception against Israel
The article seeks to examine how the State of Israel is presented in Palestinian Authority school textbooks and in other educational documents. The major argument is that the PA violated the Oslo Accords with Israel (1993) and turned its education system into a hothouse for incitement and deception. The methodology is based on analysis of textbooks from the first to twelfth grade, and examination of contents, photos, caricatures, maps, texts and …
The Triple Conceptual Failure: Sinwar, Nasrallah, and Khamenei—and the Underestimation of Israel’s Resilience
This article offers an analysis of the ideology shared by the three leaders of the “Axis of Resistance” as a background to the October 7 attack. Theoretically, when conceptions or worldviews shape our perceptions of reality, divergent perceptions increase the likelihood of war between adversaries pursuing different goals and interests. The article analyzes the public statements by leaders of Israel’s enemies and discusses the existence of an expl…
Nation-state interests prevail: Gulf states’ policies towards the Gaza war
This article examines the positioning of the six Gulf states regarding the Gaza war between Israel and Hamas. It proposes a typology categorising these states into three groups based on their diplomatic relations with Israel: those maintaining a boycott, unofficial ties, or formal agreements. Using a qualitative methodology grounded in diplomatic data and elite discourse, the study analyzes national interest and policy interventions across domest…
Minority Perspective: The Israeli–Arab Leadership Position Over the Israeli Peace Agreements With Arab States
Research on conflict resolution typically examines how local leadership shapes social and political responses. However, there is limited exploration of ethnic minority leadership and their attitudes toward agreements with adversarial states. A notable example is Israel, which has established five peace or normalization accords: with Egypt in 1977, Jordan in 1994, and the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco in 2020. While these agreements have been analyzed…
No Left, No Right: The Jewish-Israeli Imaginary Divide
This study offers a new model (a five by four matrix) to analyze an imaginary left-right division Israel. By analyzing the historical evolution of the Zionist ideology to four core issues (territory, religion, economy, and the attitude towards non-Jews), the main findings are that there is no real difference between them in any of the issues. In practice, they also behaved similarly, almost identically, in each of these issues. The main conclusio…
Divide and rule: Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy toward social protests in Israel, 2011–2023
This study examines Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership style toward social protests in Israel between 2011 and 2023. Based on the theoretical framing of a transactional or transformational leader, we analyzed Netanyahu’s conduct during the social protests that took place in Israel in 2011, 2020, and 2023. The main conclusion of this study is that Netanyahu practices the divide-and-rule approach that characterizes a transactional leader, thus deepeni…
A reassessment of the Jordanian identity after the Arab Spring—the construction of the holy trinity identity: Monarchical, territorial, and tribal
Since the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan was founded as an independent political entity, the issue of nationalism has been touched upon in several basic elements: the royal house, the image of the king, the territory, Islam, and tribalism. This article examines the extent to which the regional upheaval in the Middle East (Arab Spring) affected these elements of the identity of the kingdom’s citizens and how the Hashemite royal house dealt with …
The role of political ceremonies in shaping public opinion and constructing national narratives: The ceremonies for the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity
Middle Powers and Limited Balancing: Syria and the Post‐October 7 Wars
This article contends that to explain the grand strategies of states in the Middle East, we must employ the concept of middle powers. Analyzing the case of Syria between 2011 and 2021, it finds that these actors preferred a strategy of limited balancing against direct threats to their national security. We support this theory through two methodological steps. First, we define a boundary for a subregional sphere focusing on a conflict, and, using …
Arab-Israeli Mix: Low-scale Protests and the Increase in Terrorism Following the Outbreak of the Swords of Iron War
This article seeks to examine the behavior patterns of the Arab society in Israel since the Israel-Hamas War began in October 2023. The uniqueness of this population is the ethnic-national and religious differences between it and the Jewish majority and their identification with the Palestinians. Theoretically, the behavior patterns will be analyzed using a model of three variables: religion, citizenship, and nationality. This qualitative study, …
Rethinking Pan-Arabism: An analysis of the challenges of a Utopian ideology
Through a systematic analysis, this study explores the feasibility of turning the Pan-Arabism ideology into a reality. We trace five challenges to the ideology, dividing them into inherent and secondary difficulties. Two inherent challenges made pan-Arabism almost an impossible idea from its outset. The first is religion and sectarianism, and the second is tribalism. The secondary challenges, which include the struggle over leadership, contesting…
Balancing Ideology and Pragmatism: Hezbollah's Transition to Attrition Warfare in Its Conflict With Israel
Between Democracy and Islam: The Rise of Islamists' Political Awareness in Jordan Between 2011 to 2024 and Its Effects on Religious, National, and Political Identities

It aims to examine whether and how this strengthening affected religious, national, and political identities. The article examines the interrelationships between the Hashemite regime and the Salafi movements in Jordan during and after the Arab Spring. This examination shows that there was a deterio…
Palestinian society in the West Bank: Trust and self-sacrifice
analysts strive to predict future scenarios of the Palestinian-israeli conflict, concentrating on the question of whether Palestinians will be willing to pay the costs of violent struggle.in contrast with various policy assessments, this paper takes political trust as a factor that enables us to anticipate Palestinian social reactions as a point of departure.We interviewed 90 West Bank inhabitants, focusing on six major issues: the armed struggle…

Stretching the Boundaries of Political Violence: Lessons From Hungary and Israel
Based on the case studies of Hungary and Israel, this article proposes an expansion of the term â political violenceâ to encompass the phenomenon of using harsh language followed by punitive measures, which are not necessarily physical. It aims to gain additional power, intimidate opponents, and narrow the public and political abilities of social and political forces with a different ideology. One major consequence is a transition from a democrat…
What Went Wrong? Israeli Misconceptions And the October 2023 Surprise
This study examines Israel's failure to prevent Black October, the Hamas invasion that killed more than 1,100 people and sparked the Gaza war. The article synthesizes literatures of security and intelligence to advance three levels at which we must analyze Israel's missteps. The first is the intelligence level, where the state assessed threats. The second is operational, where officials devised military and security solutions, such as relying on …
The manipulative evolution of Muslim and Jewish narratives regarding the Temple Mount
For decades now, Jerusalem has been the point of collision between Israeli and Palestinian narratives, leading to perpetual rounds of violence. This research is concerned with the spiritual origins of this violence. Therefore, its purpose is to explore the evolution of Jewish and Muslim narratives regarding the Temple Mount. Inquiring into the various layers of these narratives, particularly their religious components, one finds how some were gra…
The Arab Woman In Israel In A Tight Spot: Academia And Career Versus Marriage And Family
This study concentrates on the impact that marriage has on the personal development of Israeli Arab women in the field of higher education and employment. These women are a minority within a minority as they belong to Israel's Arab ethnic community but are also a gender-segregated minority within their patriarchal society. Whereas other studies touch on the overall struggle of Arab women to reach personal fulfillment despite intense family life, …
The Effects of Covid-19 Emergency Aid on UN Reputation-Evidence From Syria, Yemen, and Sudan
This article explores the effects of United Nations (UN) emergency Covid-19 aid on its organizational reputation in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region-the prominent aid recipient under this scheme. MENA states are traditionally critical of the UN, perceiving it as a representative of Western and colonial order. We argue that Covid-19 presented an opportunity to reinforce UN regional reputation, despite historical grievances. We perform an…
Israeli and the Palestinian present: A temporary arrangement in the West Bank for ethnonational ongoing conflict
This study argues that a political reality of a temporary arrangement has been solidified in Judea and Samaria since 2005, right after Abu Mazen was elected to be the President. It based on integrative approach suggests here for the first time and falls between the political peace process and the armed struggle approaches as a possible solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is a result of social-political change within the Palestinian…
May 2021 Riots by the Arab Minority in Israel: National, Civil or Religious
This study seeks to understand what was behind the May 2021 violence of the Arab minority in Israel, particularly in mixed cities: was it national, religious or civic motives, or a combination of them? Historically, relations between Jews and non-Jews (mostly Muslims) in Israel circle around three axes: religious, national, and civic. While the fragile relations between the parties enjoy a quiet routine, a serious escalation is recorded from time…
Exclusion, inclusion, and the multiple identities of a national minority: Israeli soccer players in the national team
This study focuses on the complexity of the national representation of Arab players on the Israeli national soccer team. For 90 min, the players are part of society and their presence resembles the inclusion of Arabs in Israel. However, when the match ends, they are again part of the deprived Arab minority and excluded from Israeli society. The study is based on theoretical academic materials, interviews with six prominent Arab soccer players who…
The Knesset activity of the United Arab List (Ra’am), 1996–2020
This article analyses the interaction between Mansour Abbas, leader of the Islamist United Arab List (Ra'am), and the Zionists parties. It explores Ra'am's legislative activity since its foundation in 1996 and claims that Abbas's decision to work with the government on advancing civic issues is not a new trend in Arab Israeli politics. Ra'am's members of Knesset (MKs) have been doing this since 1996, turning the party into a religious-civil polit…
The Winner Does Not Take All: Lessons from the Israel‐Hamas Conflict
Despite countless studies on victory in armed conflict, scholars disagree about the exact meaning of this term. This article, using primary sources in Hebrew and Arabic, aims to define victory and to discern between types of successful outcomes in war. We analyze three case studies of military collision between Israel and Hamas through a model featuring four levels: tactical, operational, strategic, and systemic. The study shows that in all three…
Together we stand, divided we fall: The Arab minority in Israel’s general elections, 2019-20
This article seeks to analyse the political behaviour of the Arab sector in Israel in the three rounds of general elections held between April 2019 to March 2020. In the first round (April 9), despite high expectations within the Arab sector of seeing a joint Arab list competing in the elections for the 21st Knesset, the joint list was dismantled. Arab voters expressed their disappointment and stayed away from the ballot box. The political result…
Israel’s policy towards its Arab minority, 1990–2010
This article discusses the shift in Israel’s policy towards its Arab minority in 1990–2010 – from a security-based to a civil approach. This shift was reflected not only in increased resource allocation but also in the initiation of a dialogue with Arab politicians and public figures. Among the most prominent results of this policy change have been a reduction in socioeconomic gaps between Israel’s Jewish and Arab communities, a growing number of…
Gulf States' Policy Towards Syrian Refugees: Charity Before Hospitality
The regional turmoil in the Middle East since December 2010 has provided researchers with many topics for research. Despite a relatively large number of studies in recent years, none of them deal with one of the central questions – namely, the attitude of the Gulf States toward the misery of the Syrian refugees. While more than six million Syrians fled their homeland and became refugees, 1.5 million in Europe, few, if any, succeeded in relocating…
Explaining a State Status Quo and Non-State Revisionist Dynamic: The Case of the Conflict Between Hamas and Israel 2007–2019
Using contemporary theories on Status Quo and Revisionist actors, the study provides an alternative explanation to the Israeli−Hamas conflict. Israel is a status quo actor that enjoys high values in terms of economic and military power. It has low value in terms of brokerage in international institutions. Hamas is a radical revisionist actor that follows other radical revisionist Islamic actors. However, it fails on both axes to change its equati…

Haredi Anti-Zionist Ideology as the Driving Force Behind the Ultraorthodox Protests in Israel
Since its establishment as an independent state, Israel has witnessed waves of protests, sometimes violence, from the Haredi (ultraorthodox) community. Focusing on clashes between Haredi protesters and the police from 2000 onward, this study suggests a new theoretical explanation for Haredi protests and violent activities. By using a mixture of the following three major theories—primordial, constructivism, and contingency—the article provides a n…
Normalization with Israel: An Analysis of Social Networks Discourse Within Gulf States
This research focuses on attitudes of social media users in the Gulf States towards normalization with the state of Israel. Over the past two decades, a system of unofficial ties has emerged between Israel and the Gulf States. These relations are the product of mutual self-interest based on cooperation in the fields of science, commerce, tourism, cyber and security. After conducting a text analysis of 150 Twitter accounts by Gulf State leaders an…
Israel's Arab leadership in the decade attending the October 2000 events
This main thesis of this article is that while there is a general unanimity among Israel's Arab parties and/or organizations on national issues and the desired solution to the Palestinian problem, there are wide divergences in their positions on civil matters and the consequent need for a dialogue with the Israeli government and Jewish society. A governmental policy that encourages integration rather than exclusion can therefore minimize the tens…

The West and the Middle East: Liberal Nationalism, Instrumental Nationalism
This paper argues that there is no real nationalism in the Middle East and if is, then it is an instrumental.The historical process of the region which relates to nationalism has had three stages: (1) the European conquest that forced the indigenous people to battle both for freedom and confront a secular idea such as nationalism; (2) arbitrarily marked borders by the West disregarding ethnic religious and tribal lines and affinity; (3) the creat…

Saudi Arabia's Wahhabism and Nationalism: The Evolution of Wataniyya into Qawmiyya
For many scholars, the Arab Spring was actually an Islamic Winter, especially when ISIS rose up in Iraq and Syria, and the Muslim Brotherhood won democratic elections in Egypt and took control over the state. But in other unshaken regions in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia and the GCC states, the Arab Spring or the Islamic Winter led to something different, which I will call "rethinking nationalism."This article asserts that since Saudi Arabia…
Arab Spring Era: Winds of Change in the Direction of Gender Equality for Tunisian Women
This study asks a simple question: Has there been any upgrading in the status of women in Tunisia in the years following the Jasmine Revolution of December 2010? Based upon a comparative analysis of the Tunisian constitutions of 1959 and 2014, this paper argues that Tunisian women have, in fact, experienced a real change in their status within Tunisian society. Through a combination of their strong collective identity and a self-initiated process…
The fate of the Assyrian minority in early independent Iraq: A test case of political violence based on rational primordialism
Analyzing ethno-national conflicts is usually not easy in that not all quantitative scientific tools are useful to the student of a conflict based on primordial elements. The burden of studying the outcome of a conflict is all the more complex given that the two conflicting groups might be at two different stages of their political development at any given time during the course of the conflict. In the case of the fate of the [Eastern Christian] …

From separatism to violence: A typology of interactions between the citizen and the state establishment
This paper suggests two new theoretical contributions: The first such contribution is a typology of interactions between the people and the authorities (central government, local municipalities, company managements, others). Looking inductively at various case studies dealing with this kind of relationship, the proposed continuum moves from separatism at one end (Catalunya, 2017, as an instance) to violence at the other end of the scale, while be…
Rethinking Social Protest Movements’ Theorization: Lessons From Egypt, Burkina Faso and Bolivia; Pp. 95–112
The primary observation of this paper is that the common definition of a social protest movement should be revised, following the large-scale popular protest witnessed in the last few years in different areas of the world. The traditional perception of social protest movements â as a phenomenon reserved to non-governmental actors alone, such as workersâ unions, civil society and opposition movements â is deficient. While this perception concentra…
Protests and political violence among Arab Knesset members
This article seeks to understand the extent of Arab MKs’ involvement in protests and political violence over the past decade. By way of doing so, it will examine this phenomenon in four case studies: Mavi Marmara Flotilla (2010), Operation Pillar of cloud (2012), Operation Protective Edge (2014), and the passing of Israel’s Nation-State law in 2018. The findings reveal that, unlike many other protests in the Arab world, Arab Israeli protest in th…
More Divided than United: Israeli Social Protest during Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020
The Covid-19 epidemic that struck Israel in March 2020 found Israel in the midst of an ongoing political crisis. The connection between a health crisis and a shaky political system (mainly because of indictments against the prime minister) has created three protest movements against corruption, dysfunction of the central government and severe feelings of discrimination in the population. Each protest sought to achieve different goals. The “Black …
Iran and Saudi Arabia Civilio-Theo-Zation Clash: Reformulating Regional Strategies Following the Arab Spring
The Middle East is experiencing a new era involving a cold war between the theocratic Shiâ i state of Iran and its rival Saudi Arabia, a theocratic Sunni state, both considering themselves the leader of the Muslim world. These countries have been rivals for decades, and the consequences of this rivalry have been shaping the Middle East since 2011. This research intends to review the main issues over the last four decades involved in the rivalry b…

National ethos and its role in preserving trauma communities: Observations from the Palestinian uprising 2000 to 2005
This paper sticks to the assumption that conflicts become intractable when contradicting sets of national ethos exist. Therefore, it is essential to comprehend the traits of national ethos. We contend that national ethos comprises three basic themes: a sense of collective victimhood, a feeling of victory, and a sense of universal justice. Based on this theoretical foundation, we took the Israeli and Palestinian mutually negating sets of ethos dur…

The Formation of the National Palestinian Ethos
This study seeks to examine how the Palestinian national ethos was formed based on both primordialism and territorial perceptions. It is based on primary sources—memoirs, public statements, and Palestinian media releases—dating back to the British Mandate for Palestine and examines the use of the basic elements of the ethos: victimhood, victory at all costs, and universal justice. The paper discerns two stages in the process of ethos formation: t…
