Abstract

Turkish-Israeli relations during the AKP era have been tumultuous, shaped by ideological disparities, internal politics, and regional shifts. Despite these hurdles, both nations have maintained pragmatic cooperation, notably in trade, energy, and security domains. This study delves into the evolution of Turkish-Israeli ties, analysing key factors influencing their dynamics. It explores how cooperation persists amid ideological rifts and assesses the impact of recent normalisation efforts and ongoing tensions. Employing a conceptual and chronological approach, the research unveils a pattern of alternating between strategic collaboration and strained relations. The Mavi Marmara raid, a significant event in the history of Turkish-Israeli relations, marked a point of severe strain. However, economic exchanges have thrived, and recent attempts at normalisation offer hope despite the challenges that remain, notably Turkiye's support for Hamas and divergent regional policies. Meanwhile, various factors have shaped the relationship between Turkiye and Hamas over the past two decades. Key influences include the Palestinian issue, ideological alignments and tensions, regional dynamics, and, notably, the significant impact of individual leaders, such as President Erdoğan. Turkiye's engagement with Hamas has evolved from facilitating dialogue to providing political and financial support, especially following Hamas's electoral victory in 2006. Despite occasional tensions, Turkiye sees Hamas as a legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and supports it as part of its broader strategy to challenge the status quo in the Middle East. However, Turkiye's support for Hamas has strained its relations with Israel and raised concerns among Western allies, highlighting the complexities of Turkiye's role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This article will evaluate Turkish-Israel relations within the new approach toward the Hamas.

Abstract

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which began with the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and UN Resolution 181 of 1947 that facilitated the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 by occupying part of the Palestinian territory, reflects a long struggle for a claim to territory and sovereignty. The existence of Israel as an occupying power encourages the Palestinian people's efforts to achieve absolute independence. From this effort emerged Fatah and Hamas as two main political forces that offer opposing approaches to dealing with Israel. This research uses qualitative methods. The research results show that the struggles of Hamas and Fatah have different methods, where Fatah prioritizes diplomatic strategies, and Hamas chooses a coercive approach. In addition, the two have a shared national interest, namely achieving independence. However, internal rivalry between the two worsens the prospects for Palestinian independence, regardless of the choice of approach used.

Abstract

The decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become one of the most complex and significant geopolitical issues, with far-reaching implications for political stability in the Middle East. This study aims to identify the roots of the conflict, the factors that influence it, and its impact on the region's governance system and political institutions. This study uses qualitative methods with a descriptive-analytical approach, which provides an in-depth understanding of both parties' internal dynamics and the conflict's impact on regional stability. The results show that the governance systems of both countries play an important role in this dynamic. Israel can maintain stability through a parliamentary democratic system supported by checks and balances mechanisms. In contrast, in Palestine, along with the continuing occupation by Israel and the absence of sovereignty, a dualism of power has emerged, namely the Palestinian National Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza. This dualism has triggered internal fragmentation that has hampered the effectiveness of government and added to the complexity of efforts to achieve independence. Furthermore, this conflict has also caused political instability at the regional level and complicated the foreign policies of countries in the region.

Abstract

The expulsion and oppression activities carried out by Israel are a major problem that continues to be experienced by the Palestinian people. So it requires attention and support from outside parties, such as the Arab League, to be able to fight for independence for Palestine. In this article, researchers use the theory of organizational roles to analyze the role of the Arab League as an actor, arena and instrument. This research was conducted using a qualitative method from Christopher Lamont. As for the sources and techniques of data collection, they were obtained through archives and documents, both primary, secondary, and those obtained via the internet. The results of this research show that the Arab League continues to demonstrate its role as a regional organization in seeking solutions to stop Israeli colonialism in Palestine, but until now, the Arab League has not succeeded in freeing Palestine from Israel. Due to the inability of member countries to build solidarity and end dependence on the United States, decisions are often made by considering the interests of certain parties.

Abstract

On August 15, 2021, the United States and its allies withdrew from Afghanistan, followed by the return of the Taliban to power. The withdrawal was part of the Doha Agreement, which was the result of US-Taliban negotiations with Qatar as a mediator. This study aims to analyze Qatar's foreign policy and explain the goals, objectives, options, consequences, and choices behind Qatar's decision to mediate the US-Taliban negotiations. This study uses a qualitative research method. The results of this study indicate that the goals and objectives of Qatar's foreign policy are to secure itself from threats from the Gulf countries and to strengthen its political existence. This decision was taken after considering the options and their consequences. The first option is to sever ties with the Taliban with the consequence that the Taliban will not agree to negotiate with the United States. The second option is to become a mediator for the US-Taliban with the consequence that Qatar increases its regional presence while receiving protection from the United States from its neighboring countries.

Abstract

Amid the devastation caused by the Israeli occupation, the Palestinian economy faces profound systemic challenges, including trade restrictions, widespread unemployment, and collapsing infrastructure. This study adopts a systems thinking approach to explore economic survival under such conditions, bridging the gap in understanding the interconnected dynamics of macroeconomic and microeconomic factors. Using causal loop diagrams, the analysis uncovers reinforcing loops of poverty, aid dependency, and infrastructure collapse alongside balancing loops driven by community resilience and policy interventions. Key findings reveal that trade restrictions have caused GDP contractions of up to 35 percent, while unemployment in Gaza has surged to 45 percent due to disrupted labor markets. Furthermore, only 33 percent of hospitals remain operational, exacerbating health crises and food insecurity. The study emphasizes the critical need for targeted infrastructure investments to restore market functionality and reduce unemployment by 15–20 percent, paired with community empowerment to strengthen resilience. The systems thinking framework offers policymakers actionable insights to navigate the socio-economic complexities of occupation and promote sustainable survival strategies for Palestine.

Abstract

Based on the Geneva Convention, journalists are included in the special protection group during armed conflict. However, it is not uncommon for journalists to become victims during war. This study aims to explain the urgency of protection for journalists in armed conflict by taking a case study of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after October 7, 2023. The research method used is qualitative descriptive analytical with the approach of the special protection concept of the Geneva Convention. The results of the study show that the large number of journalist victims in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after October 7, 2023, is evidence that the rules for protection for war journalists have been inconsistent while the risks for journalists in the conflict zone continue to increase. Universal recognition of the application of journalist protection laws is increasingly urgent to protect journalists during armed conflict. The role of International Organizations is critical in voicing the urgency of protecting journalists while on duty.

Abstract

Normalization of relations with Israel by several Arab countries is referred to as an effort to help Palestine resolve its conflict with Israel. By establishing diplomatic relations, these Arab countries aim to become direct mediators for Palestinian independence. This study will attempt to examine the impact of the normalization of relations between Arab countries and Israel on the Palestinian issue. The research method employed is qualitative, utilizing a literature review. The researchers employ Keohane and Nye's concept of economic interdependency to analyze the relations between several Arab countries and Israel. The results of the study indicate that the normalization of relations between several Arab countries and Israel will only strengthen Israel's dominance in the Middle East due to the economic interdependency of Arab countries on Israel and the United States.

Abstract

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement emerged as a response to Israel’s settler colonialism, apartheid, and human rights violations against the Palestinian people. While BDS has succeeded in raising global awareness and fostering international solidarity, its effectiveness in achieving structural change remains contested. This article offers a critical reflection on the achievements and limitations of the BDS movement within the context of the global political economy, and proposes an alternative strategy grounded in Coxian critical theory. Emphasizing the role of social forces of production, state formation, and world order, this approach promotes more inclusive and transformational transnational mobilization. It also involves reforming global institutions, building alliances among Global South countries, and leveraging media and technology to construct counter-hegemonic narratives that challenge Israel’s ideological and economic dominance. The article argues that the liberation of Palestine requires a global movement that goes beyond economic tactics, toward a reconstruction of global structures rooted in social justice.

Abstract

The United States, under the administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, demonstrated stark differences in their foreign policy approaches to the Israel–Palestine conflict. Obama emphasized a normative and persuasive strategy by supporting the two-state solution as a means to bring both parties to the negotiating table. In contrast, Trump adopted a more aggressive and controversial approach, exemplified by the launch of Trump's Peace Plan and the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. This research aims to compare the foreign policy directions of both presidents, with a particular focus on how internal factors and idiosyncratic characteristics shaped their decision-making processes. Using a qualitative approach and the idiosyncratic theory as the analytical framework, the research examines each leader's background, leadership style, and policy preferences. The findings suggest that Obama tended to favor multilateralism and diplomacy, while Trump prioritized a more transactional approach. The research concludes that idiosyncratic factors played a significant role in shaping the United States' foreign policy approach to the Israel–Palestine conflict.
