Paper 74, "Israeli Economic Plans in East Jerusalem: Impact on the Two-State Solution," reviews and analyzes key Israeli economic plans and government decisions in occupied East Jerusalem since 2010. It aims to uncover their connection to Israeli Judaization policies, seeking to solidify the notion of a "Unified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel" on the ground, hindering the potential future designation of East Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state.
From the electronic series "Israeli Papers," issue 73 titled "The Israeli Left and the Peace Process: From Peace Now, to Peace Later, to No Peace at All."
This issue includes a translation by Bilal Daher of a recently released analytical study by the Molad Center for the Renewal of Democracy in Israel. The study, authored by Yonatan Levi, a Ph.D. candidate at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a fellow researcher at Molad and the Pearl Katselson Fund, and Sh.Y. Agmon, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Oxford and a fellow researcher at Molad, aims to answer the question of how the Zionist left relinquished the political-security debate, paving the way for the rise of populism in Israel.
"The paper addresses the proportion of devout Jewish settlers in the West Bank, excluding Jerusalem, which has increased from 33% to 40% over the span of six years. This trend indicates a continuous rise in their percentage. Moreover, the growth rate of settlers in the West Bank is twice the overall rate, while their parliamentary representation has become disproportionately influential among the total voters on election day.
A new issue of the electronic series "Israeli Papers" (Issue 71) has recently been released by the Palestinian Center for Israeli Studies "Madar," under the title "Israel's Policy towards Arab Citizens - Back to the Origins." The paper was prepared and translated by researcher Omar Amin Masalha.
This paper includes translations from the archives of two sessions held by the leadership of the "Mapai" party (Labor Party of the Land of Israel), the predecessor of the current Labor Party, which is considered the founding party of Israel. These sessions took place on June 18, 1950, and July 19, 1950, focusing on what was termed the "Issue of Arabs in the State."
Ramallah: The Palestinian Forum for Israeli Studies (MADAR) has recently released a new issue of the Israeli Papers series, titled “The Haredi Jews in Israel… Motives of Alliance with the Right Wing”. Prepared by Researcher Antoine Shulhut, the paper includes a translation [into Arabic] of two newly published Israeli articles on the latest developments on Haredi Jews on the Israeli political stage. The paper traces the root causes of the Haredi Jews’ predisposition to ally themselves with the right wing. Informed by their positions towards Zionism and so-called “Land of Israel” and State of Israel, over the past decade, the Haredi Jews have transformed into “natural partners” with the right wing and its leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
