Abstract:
Europe ought to press the Palestinians to negotiate with Israel for a demilitarized state on a territory similar in size to the pre-1967 West Bank and Gaza Strip and whose economy will be rebuilt and boosted by a $50 billion investment.

Abstract:
Everything short of a military confrontation needs to be done, though, to deter Erdogan from establishing a barrier diagonally across the Mediterranean, barring Cyprus, Egypt and Israel from connecting their gas infrastructure to Greece and hence to Europe.

Abstract:
The Jewish state’s relationship with the U.S. is stronger for resting on an informal basis; replacing it with a formal alliance would do no good and only anger the world’s other major power.

Abstract:
This paper provides an historic overview of Israel's relationship with the Arab world
followed by an in-depth review of cooperation between Arab states and Israel on
solving and managing the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The
Palestinian issue served to enable and limit relations between Israel and Arab states
along the years. Reviving Palestinian-Israeli negotiations and improving the status
of the Palestinians have been the central tenants of cooperation between Israel and
Arab states. The Palestinian issue serves as a legitimizing factor for Israeli-Arab
cooperation, and the occupation remains an obstacle to accomplishing regional
stability. The Abraham Accords may intensify Israeli-Arab cooperation on the
Palestinian issue, thus making the quest for a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian
issue more central to Israel's regional foreign policies.

Abstract:
Civilian cooperation between Israel and Arab states takes place on various levels and in
different fields despite the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict that often prevents and always
challenges the establishment of full, normal relations between the citizens of Israel and the
region. This paper is intended to serve anyone seeking to promote Israel-Arab
normalization, peace and cooperation, by spotlighting the wide array of existing civilian
relations and trying to learn from experience for the sake of expanding future cooperation.
Learning from experience is important both in order to efficiently and effectively advance
regional cooperation toward peace, and also to advance existing cooperation, especially
given its potential for offering better conditions for a political-diplomatic process.
The potential for regional cooperation does not rely only on formal diplomatic, security and
economic agreements between states, but also on ties between civilians. That is especially
true for the desire to advance normalization as reflected in relations on the civil society level
and the public legitimization of relations in a wide variety of fields. This paper analyzes
civilian cooperation practices between Israelis and residents of states in the Middle East and
North Africa, in the environment, sports, tourism, science, religion and heritage, culture and
humanitarian aid.
