Objectives and Vision
The first issue of Qadaya Isra'iliyya was published in the winter of 2001. Since then, the journal has become the foremost Arab source for providing critical studies on Israeli affairs, pioneering key debates on society and politics in Israel, the Zionist movement, and all matters related to colonial practices and Israeli Occupation. The journal offers rigorous and critical knowledge, engaging in academic and research dialogues with various academic and research circles worldwide, and participating in key discussions related to Israel, both on the theoretical-intellectual and empirical-observational levels.
Qadaya Isra'iliyya continuously strives to assume a leading position in terms of content and topics covered, and attempts to dedicate a specific theme for each issue to address the latest developments in the Israeli scene. As a result, the journal has become a primary destination for many prominent researchers, key thinkers specializing in Israeli affairs, as well as a rising cohort of promising young researchers.
