  • Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As Of, January 27, 2015) Elections • in Israel, Elections for the Knesset A
    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

  • Alliance in Crisis
    ALLIANCE IN CRISIS: Israel’s Standing in the World and the Question of Isolation Research and Writing Assaf Sharon Shivi Greenfield Mikhael Manekin Oded Naaman Jesse Rothman Dahlia Shaham Design: Yosef Bercovich Design: Yosef Alliance in Crisis _ 2 Executive Summary Israel's international standing has been the focus of attention for many years. Is Israel moving towards international isolation? Can one quantify the effects of the widely discussed boycotts on Israel's economy? What can be done to put an end to Israel's rapidly deteriorating relations with the US and Europe? These are questions that rightly occupy the thoughts of many Israelis as well as the country's leadership. Yet despite the issues’ importance, the conversation on Israel's foreign relations lacks depth and is often based on slogans rather than empirical data. The discussion oscillates between apocalyptic warnings on the one hand, and dangerous complacency on the other. This report analyzes Israel's international relations with the goal of arriving at a clear understanding of Israel's current status in the world, and aims to identify the specific threats and opportunities it faces. It focuses on the three arenas of diplomacy, economics, and culture. The principle findings are as follows: Israel's international standing is an unprecedented success story. Since Israel's establishment, every head of state has understood the importance of ties with the US and Europe, especially given Israel's regional political isolation. The world has shown that it is interested in close ties with Israel. Israel’s central role in the international community in a variety of fields – from science and culture to security and diplomacy – is a remarkable accomplishment.

  • IATF Fact Sheet: Religion
    1 FACT SHEET iataskforce.org Topic: Religion – Druze Updated: June 2014 The Druze community in Israel consists of Arabic speakers from an 11th Century off-shoot of Ismaili Shiite theology. The religion is considered heretical by orthodox Islam.2 Members of the Druze community predominantly reside in mountainous areas in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria.3 At the end of 2011, the Druze population in Israel numbered 133,000 inhabitants and constituted 8.0% of the Arab and Druze population, or 1.7%of the total population in Israel.4 The Druze population resides in 19 localities located in the Northern District (81% of the Druze population, excluding the Golan Heights) and Haifa District (19%). There are seven localities which are exclusively Druze: Yanuh-Jat, Sajur, Beit Jann, Majdal Shams, Buq’ata, Mas'ade, and Julis.5 In eight other localities, Druze constitute an overwhelming majority of more than 75% of the population: Yarka, Ein al-Assad, Ein Qiniyye, Daliyat al-Karmel, Hurfeish, Kisra-Samia, Peki’in and Isfiya. In the village of Maghar, Druze constitute an almost 60% majority. Finally, in three localities, Druze account for less than a third of the population: Rama, Abu Snan and Shfar'am.6 The Druze in Israel were officially recognized in 1957 by the government as a distinct ethnic group and an autonomous religious community, independent of Muslim religious courts. They have their own religious courts, with jurisdiction in matters of personal status and spiritual leadership, headed by Sheikh Muwaffak Tarif. 1 Compiled by Prof. Elie Rekhess, Associate Director, Crown Center for Jewish and Israel Studies, Northwestern University 2 Naim Araidi, The Druze in Israel, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, December 22, 2002, http://www.mfa.gov.il; Gabriel Ben Dor, “The Druze Minority in Israel in the mid-1990s”, Jerusalem Letters, 315, June 1, 1995, JerusalemCenter for Public Affairs.

  • Israel: Political Development and Data for 2017
    European Journal of Political Research Political Data Yearbook 0: 1–8, 2018 1 doi: 10.1111/2047-8852.12214 Israel: Political development and data for 2017 EMMANUEL NAVON1 & ABRAHAM DISKIN2 1Tel-Aviv University and Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Israel; 2The Academic Center of Science and Law, Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel Introduction In 2017, the Israeli governing majority was partially split by issues of state and religion, and it was overshadowed by police investigations over corruption charges involving the Prime Minister and his entourage. Yet the coalition remained stable and unchallenged. The opposition was temporarily reinvigorated by the election of a new leader for the Labor Party, but polls continued to show a widespread support for the Likud-led coalition. While Israel continued to experience ‘lone-wolf’ terrorist attacks, its international standing improved dramatically with the election in the United States of Donald Trump and thanks to a proactive foreign policy which produced significant achievements. The Israeli economy continued to grow with healthy macroeconomic parameters. Election report There were no elections in 2017. The present Knesset was elected in March 2015 and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman have both predicted that the present government will serve its full term – an optimistic estimation given the fact that no legislature in Israel has served its full term since 1988 (Israel Central Elections Committee n.d.). Cabinet report While there were no changes in the composition of the government, the political standing of Prime Minister Netanyahu was overshadowed by police investigations involving him and his entourage. In January began a series of police interrogations of the Prime Minister over two separate cases.

  • Arab Political Parties in the Occupied Lands of 1948 Mohammed Abu
    Arab Political Parties in the Occupied Lands of 1948 Mohammed Abu Oun Introduction The 1948 Nakba was a major turning point in the lives of the Palestinian people. The Zionist gangs had occupied 78% of Palestine's lands and established the so-called 'Israel' state. The Israeli occupation displaced a huge part of the Palestinian people, but an equally great part survived and clung to their own cities and villages, or moved to nearby cities inside the occupied land to establish new communities away from the ones targeted by the occupation. The Palestinians suffered from disconnectedness as a result of the occupation's measures against them. It practiced all forms of oppression against the Palestinian people for the purpose of erasing their identity and eliminating their existence. The Palestinians in the occupied lands realized the occupation's attempts to dissect the Arabs' presence and oppression of their identity through its racist measures. Therefore, the people started working on establishing and organizing a Palestinian Arab community to save their identity and culture, and exercise pressure on the occupation for the protection of the Palestinians' rights. This study examines the main endeavors for and reasons behind forming Arab parties in the occupied lands of 1948, these parties' accomplishments and the ways the occupation dealt with them considering them a strategic threat against the occupation and its project. The research ends with a glimpse of the possible future of the Arab parties in the Israeli political system. Topic One: Palestinians' Conditions inside the Occupied Lands after 1948 Since 1948, the Palestinian people has been suffering from the occupation's atrocities, massacres and targeting of civilians; children, women and elderly.

  • Israeli and Palestinian Public Opinion
    DECISION MAKING UNDER THREAT: ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN PUBLIC OPINION A Dissertation Presented by Sheila Deborah Kohanteb To The Department of Political Science In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, MA March 2012 DECISION MAKING UNDER THREAT: ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN PUBLIC OPINION By Sheila Deborah Kohanteb This research examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a new conceptual perspective that incorporates the psychology of threat into the study of inter-group conflict. The specific ob- jective of the proposed work is to develop a better understanding of how inter-group perceptions of threat may affect the decision-making of citizens and political leaders, and may ultimately af- fect progress in peace negotiations. The study utilizes data on Israelis and Palestinians over the period 1994 through 2011, drawing on public opinion polls, conflict related casualties, and major historical events in order to assess factors affecting public opinion. The research specifically ex- amines the impact of perceived threat on: changes in Palestinian public opinion regarding sup- port for punitive military actions against Israel, optimism about the future, and support for the peace process; and changes in Israeli public opinion regarding support for peace (negotia- tions/agreements). It is hypothesized that perceived threat pushes both Israelis and Palestinians toward more extreme positions regarding the peace process. This study also examines
