  • Netanyahu Incita All’
    Israele guarda con nervosismo come Trump abbandoni i suoi alleati siriani Lily Galili – Tel Aviv, Israele 10 ottobre 2019 – Middle East Eye Negli ultimi giorni la leadership israeliana ha imparato due cose: a non credere di sapere cosa farà il presidente USA e a non fidarsi di lui come alleato. Durante il Capodanno ebraico è successa una cosa incredibile: per la prima volta il presidente Trump è stato paragonato, nei media israeliani, al suo predecessore, Barack Obama. Non è cosa di poco conto. Per la maggioranza degli israeliani, che si colloca fra il centro e l’estrema destra, Trump è un idolo americano, il migliore amico che Israele abbia mai avuto alla Casa Bianca. Barack Hussein Obama era, per quegli stessi israeliani, l’epitome di tutti i mali. Secondo il Pew, un centro di ricerca con sede a Washington, uno studio recente ha rilevato che solo 2 Paesi su 37 preferiscono Trump a Obama: Russia e Israele. E probabilmente è ancora così. Ma il senso di preoccupazione e di tradimento incombente, innescato dal ritiro improvviso delle truppe americane dal nord della Siria e dall’abbandono senza scrupoli dei curdi, alleati sia dell’America che di Israele, ora cancella l’iniziale adorazione. Né i militari né i politici israeliani considerano la riduzione delle truppe Usa e l’offensiva militare turca che ne è seguita come un pericolo imminente per Israele. Finora ‘i disordini’, come le fonti ufficiali tendono a descrivere la situazione, sono confinati a una regione lontana dal confine tra Israele e la Siria. Ci sono comunque due elementi che preoccupano notevolmente Israele.

Joseph D. Zargarit Introduction When people think of the refugee situation in the Middle East, they often think of the Palestinian refugees of the West Bank and Gaza. Their situation has been studied, written about, and debated throughout much of the world. What is often forgotten, however, is the story of another group of refugees in the Middle East that were displaced around the same time as the Palestinian refugees.

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

It presented an exciting opportunity to shed light on a usually overlooked sector of the Israeli economy - the business agenda of the Arab minority. The non-Jewish citizens of Israel, who make up about 20% of the population, get limited international exposure, especially when compared with the Palestinians who live in the occupied territories. This has motivated several Jewish organizations to create special task forces to address issues relating to them, both in North America (http://www.iataskforce.org) and the UK (http://www.uktaskforce.org). 7KHFRQIHUHQFHZDVRUJDQL]HGE\0DODNRP HFRQRP\LQ$UDELF ,VUDHO¶VILUVWHYHUEXVLQHVVPDJD]LQHLQ Arabic, initiated by the entrepreneur Basel Gahttas.

  • THE DAVID BERG INSTITUTE for LAW and HISTORY at Tel Aviv University ______
    THE DAVID BERG INSTITUTE FOR LAW AND HISTORY at Tel Aviv University ___________ 2013‐2014 Annual Report Submitted by Assaf Likhovski, Director The David Berg Institute for Law and History Buchmann Faculty of Law Tel Aviv University [email protected] 011 (972) 3‐640‐8018 We are delighted to submit the 2013‐2014 Annual Report for The David Berg Institute for Law and History at the TAU Buchmann Faculty of Law. We are particularly proud of several new activities for young legal historians that were launched this year. The David Berg Summer School for Young Legal Historians (item no. 2) provided graduate students and young untenured faculty the opportunity to present their research projects to leading senior legal historians, who provided valuable commentary. The Institute supported a yearlong series of meetings initiated and organized by young legal history graduate students at TAU (item no. 15); and we hosted our first post‐doctoral student (item no. 16). The David Berg Institute also completed two major projects essential to the Israeli legal history infrastructure. We collaborated with the Nevo Legal Database and the TAU David J. Light Law Library on the digitization of the Hebrew version of the Mandatory Palestine Gazette (item no. 17); and completed work on a new updated bibliography of secondary sources on Israeli legal history (item no. 18). This was in addition to the support the Institute provides to legal history‐related research by TAU graduate students and faculty, and to our many conferences, symposia and lectures. This year, for the first time, we videotaped some of these events, and they are now available for viewing online (see items 1, 5 & 13).

  • Israel Debates No. 13
    Israel Debates No. 13 13 December 2012 Oslo, 20 Years Later: Is the Two-State Solution Dead? The Middle East Peace Process is in a deadlock and has seized up. Ever since Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government came to power in the spring of 2009, there have been no meaningful negotiations with his counterpart, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict factually disappeared from Israel’s foreign policy agenda, which was dominated by the threat of Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the upheavals in the Arab world which were equally perceived as threats, in particular the rise of Islamic political forces and the electoral victory of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. And yet, two consecutive events promptly placed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict back at the top of the political agenda, not only in Israel but internationally too. These were the eight-day military escalation between Israel and Hamas and other radical movements in Gaza (14 to 21 November 2012) on the one hand, and the recognition of Palestine as an observer state by 138 out of 193 UN member states in New York on 29 November 2012. The renewed fighting ended with the establishment of a ceasefire negotiated by Egypt’s President Mursi and US President Obama. Nevertheless, it cannot be overlooked that while Hamas suffered many losses, the movement emerged from this conflict politically strengthened. With rockets and terror, Hamas achieved what Mahmoud Abbas tried in vain with dialogue and the renunciation of the use of force: bring Israel to the negotiating
