  • Vetoing Peace: Israeli Coalition Dynamics and the Peace Process, 1992-2005
    Vetoing Peace: Israeli Coalition Dynamics and the Peace Process, 1992-2005 By Rebecca Farley Carleton College Faculty Adviser: Professor Al Montero In the 1990s, the Oslo Accords offered a series of unprecedented opportunities for peace in the Arab-Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, by the end of the decade, a second Palestinian uprising had broken out, and as of today, a comprehensive peace settlement still has not been achieved. Much of the blame for this has been focused on the political failure of the Palestinians both to control anti-Israeli violence and to pursue a coherent peace agenda. While the Palestinians have certainly failed on these and other fronts, insufficient attention has been paid to the intricacies of the Israeli political system as a factor in the failure of peace negotiations. I argue that Israel’s complex coalition politics explain a great deal of its inability to generate consistent political support for peace. To evaluate how coalition dynamics affect the formulation of peace policy in Israel, I apply George Tsebelis’ veto player theory to the government decision-making process. I find that large coalitions, ideological polarization within coalitions, and low cohesion in the dominant coalition partner impair the government’s ability to reach a consensus on peace legislation. Though this analysis offers valuable insights into Israeli coalition politics, Tsebelis’ variables cannot fully explain the empirical complexities of the Israeli case. To fill these gaps, I move beyond the veto player theory to propose a new model of government decision-making. I identify two additional variables that affect the government’s ability to reach a consensus on the implementation of a peace agreement: coalition volatility and level of system competition.

  • Israel 2017 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL AND THE GOLAN HEIGHTS 2017 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary A report on the West Bank and Gaza, including areas subject to the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority (PA), is appended at the end of this report. This section includes Israel, the Golan Heights, and issues primarily related to Israeli residents of Jerusalem. Issues primarily related to Palestinian residents of Jerusalem are covered in the “West Bank and Gaza” section. On December 6, the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is the position of the United States that the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem are subject to final status negotiations between the parties. The Basic Law describes the country as a Jewish state and protects the freedom of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation. Some Members of the Knesset (MKs) and government officials called for reversing the policy of banning non-Muslim prayer and the government’s ban on MKs at the Temple Mount (the foundation of the first and second Jewish temples) and the Haram al-Sharif (containing the Dome of the Rock and the Al- Aqsa Mosque), but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly repeated his support for both bans. The prime minister, however, allowed MKs, including two Jewish MKs, to enter the compound for one day in August, and one Jewish MK entered on October 25. One Muslim MK visited without permission from Prime Minister Netanyahu on July 27. The government permitted persons of all faiths to pray at the main Western Wall plaza in separate gender sections, but continued to enforce a prohibition on mixed gender Jewish prayer services.
