Core Subject :
The CMES (Center of Middle Eastern Studies) journal is a distinguished peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to advancing rigorous scholarly research on Middle Eastern studies. It publishes high-calibre research articles, theoretical studies, and critical reviews that engage with both contemporary and historical issues relevant to the region, employing a multidisciplinary approach. The CMES journal serves as a dynamic intellectual platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to exchange innovative findings and perspectives, advancing Middle Eastern studies through a multidisciplinary framework grounded in the epistemological foundations of the humanities and social sciences. In the humanities, the journal emphasises linguistics, literature, and Middle Eastern culture. At the same time, the social sciences focus on politics, economics, education, religions, and the social dimensions of Middle Eastern societies. CMES encourages scholarly work that engages these disciplines through monodisciplinary inquiry, interdisciplinary synthesis, or transdisciplinary dialogue, fostering conceptual integration and methodological interaction across disciplinary boundaries. Manuscripts submitted to CMES must be pertinent to Middle Eastern studies and demonstrate clear engagement with the epistemic traditions of their respective fields. Submissions are expected to exhibit rigorous methodology, original insights, and significant contributions to regional studies, while appealing to a global academic audience.

Abstract

The normalization of ties between Israel and four Arab countries (Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan) starting in 2020 through the US-facilitated Abraham Accords opened a new paradigm of peace in the greater Middle East and North African region. Optimists embrace the Accords as the harbinger of a new era of Israel-Arab relations and a renewed opportunity for peace in the region. Others consider them as mere official pronouncements by involved parties and without regard to the urgent and long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This paper argues that the Abraham Accords are based solely on the national interests of the signatories and the facilitator, the United States, and not primarily intended for restoring Israel-Arab ties and regional peace and security. This paper begins by examining the prospects and challenges of peacebuilding in the Middle East. The discussion proceeds to the pragmatism of the Abraham Accords, i.e., its strategic advantages for the signatories and the U.S. Finally, the paper briefly explores the reception of relevant actors in the Middle East and the wider Asian region, particularly Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, and China.

Abstract

This article explains the Hamas movement’s influence on Palestinian social conditions. This paper’s purpose is to describe the hegemony of Hamas in Palestine and its influence on the social behavior of the Palestinian people. The problem in this study is how the Hamas movement affects the social conditions of the Palestinian people. This research used a qualitative interpretive method and a hermeneutic method.

The results of this paper indicate that the hegemony of Hamas in Palestine affects the mindset, behavior, and vision of the Palestinian people. The Hamas movement influences people’s minds to defend and fight for the Palestinian territories from Israel. Hamas also forms the mindset of the people to seize power from Fatah, which is its political opponent in Palestine, who has different views on the form of a Palestinian state.

Abstract

The relationship between Turkey and Saudi Arabia has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, particularly under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This article seeks to analyze the underlying factors behind the normalization process between the two countries, considering not only political, economic, and security dimensions but also the often-overlooked ideological aspect. Historically, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have maintained opposing ideological stances, particularly regarding their positions on Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood. This study employs a qualitative methodology based on a comprehensive literature review and secondary data analysis. The findings indicate that the normalization is driven by multiple factors, including political alignment, ideological recalibration, economic interests, and security concerns. Moreover, international responses to this normalization have been mixed, with some countries expressing support while others remain critica.

Abstract

The stories of the Arabian Nights were written by many people over the course of hundreds of years. The core of original stories came out of Persia and India in the earlyeighth century. They were translated into Arabic and given the name Alfu Laylah walaylah or The Thousand Nights and One Night. This set of stories was few in number andfell far short of living up to the number in its title.  The Arabian Nights stand near the top of the list of literary works that haveinfluenced western literature. The first stories from the Nights to reach Europe did soaround the 12th century. Chaucer's Horse, for example, is evidently The Enchanted Horsefrom the Arabian Nights. The reaal influence began, however, Galland's translationbrought the full set of the tales to Europe in the early 1700's.  The application of narrative structure to alfu lailah wa can be conducted byfocusing on the study of the plot which makes up series of events. The analysis is madeon the experiences undergone by King Syahriar and his wife, Syahrazad from thebeginning to the end of the story.  The result of the analysis shows that generally the narrative structure of the storycan be divided into three parts, namely prologue, body, and epilogue. In the body of thestory, there are many stories of which narrative structures are different among them.Beside that, the Arabian Night's Entertainments stand out as one of the stellarachievements in literature. Hundreds of people contributed to their form and substancesover the hundreds of years of their development. The result has entertained andinfluenced readers for generations.

Abstract

The novel Amâliqatu asy-Simâl by Najib al-Kilani narrates the true story of the civil war in Nigeria during British colonization. The linguistic and cultural differences that form the story's background necessitate a specific translation method for translating figurative expressions in the novel. This article examines the types of figurative expressions in the novel and the shifts in meaning that occur in translation. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method with an al-bayan science approach and the theory of meaning shifts. The results show 17 expressions containing majaz, including ten forms of 'isti'arah, three majaz mursal, and four kinayah. The translation achieves shifts in meaning through adding, replacing word class, and substituting due to semantic proximity.
