Middle East Regional Security 1948 1956

Digest of Middle East Studies, 1996

This thesis provides an analysis of Israel’s security conceptions, discourses and practices, in the context of the Arab–Israeli conflict in general and the Israeli– Palestinian conflict in particular, between 1948 and 2000. The purpose of the study is, to explore those processes through which particular definitions and practices of security have been produced and changed, against the background of the domestic debates and competing worldviews among key political actors; and to highlight the overall impact of these points in different periods on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, thus, on Israel’s overall security. In this context, it is observed that the debates among the political actors, regarding the future borders and the identity of the state, have played a key role in the construction and reconstruction of Israeli security policy particularly vis-à-vis the Palestinian problem. Nevertheless, it is also observed that the extent of these differences has been limited to the objectives of the security policy, and that a zero- sum conception of security, and the primacy of military means to confront the perceived threats have prevailed as common characteristics of Israeli security understanding, informing Israel’s related practices. Along these lines the thesis considers the Oslo peace process as an anomaly, and tries to assess it within the framework of the continuities and changes it has introduced to thinking and acting about security in Israel.

The main purpose of this study is to identify Israeli security threats (especially military threats arising from nuclear weapons programs), to investigate the impact of these threats on the regional security environment in the Middle East, and to provide solutions to deal with them. Research questions include: 1. What is the strategic vision and principles of Israel's national security policies? 2. What are the most important security threats to Israel for the Middle East, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran? 3. What policies should the countries of the region consider in dealing with these threats in their defense policy? The political structure of the Zionist regime is influenced by the ideological foundations of Judaism, and the teachings of the Talmud have had a great influence on the political and military actions of that regime. Overall conclusion is that while Israel's security policies pose a threat to the Middle East, for a myriad of reasons, including the growing economic vulnerability by militarism, foreign dependence on major superregional powers, especially the United States, and internal political-social-economic conflicts.Increasing the political role and armed activities of terrorist groups, the weakening and eventual overthrow of the unpopular and authoritarian Western governments in the Middle East, the Netanyahu administration will not achieve its strategic goals. The research method of this article is qualitative and the type of information gathering is documentary, desk (library) form and the use of reputable scientific sites.
