Summary/Abstract |
Israel’s relations with the Arab world underwent dramatic changes during its seventy-five years of existence – from hostility and enmity to peacemaking and reconciliation. This development is the result of the strengthening of Israel’s regional and international position on the one hand, and the weakening of the Arab world and the Arab states’ withdrawal into themselves in the face of the socioeconomic problems confronting them, on the other. And while the regional fear of Iran’s hegemonic drive has played an important role in the evolution of Israeli-Arab cooperation, the potential for consolidation of the nascent relationship goes well beyond the Iranian threat as both sides share weighty political, security and economic interests such as fighting radical Islam, promoting regional stability and security, and ensuring economic prosperity. Yet while the Palestinian issue didn’t prevent the consolidation of Arab-Israeli relations, it remains the lowest common denominator for Arab public opinion in its search for identity and meaning. As such, it will continue to threaten regional stability and the building of Israel’s relations with its Arab partners.

Summary/Abstract |
As Lebanon's dramatic change of direction occurred, few doubted that its success depended, to a large extent, if not mainly, upon the support given by the US and France. However, Israel's voice was not absent among those welcoming Syria's departure from Lebanon. In fact, long before the murder of Rafik al-Hariri in February 2005, the Israeli Government had joined the efforts to weaken Syria's hold over the land of the Cedars The adoption of this new Israeli policy, which aimed to achieve the removal of the Syrian presence from Lebanon, marked a significant change in direction for Israel. Previously, for a very long period of time, Israel had tended to view Syria's political and military presence in Lebanon as a stabilizing factor, which would bring quiet to the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Summary/Abstract |
After all, the ruler and the dynasty and the Syrian state’s institutions have won the battle, but it is doubtful whether this is the victory of a ‘Syrian identity’ that the Syrian regime has sought to promote in recent decades. It seems, therefore, that the built-in tension between the components of the Syrian state identity remains the same and so do the doubts regarding the degree of identification and commitment of the Syrians to their country. Thus, the question of identity, which has been a key question throughout Syrian history, remains a relevant question for the future of the Syrian state.

Summary/Abstract |
The war in Syria led to one of the worst refugee crises experienced by the Middle East in recent decades. Its scope is unprecedented and has far-reaching implications not only for Syria or what remains of it, but for the receiving countries as well. In some cases, such as Lebanon or Jordan, the mass of newcomers may have an unsettling and disruptive effect on the demography of their host country. Syrian Refugees who found shelter in neighbouring countries may be able to return home or, alternatively, they may be able to be absorbed relatively easily in their current places of residence. With regard to the refugees in Europe, it is doubtful that they will ever return to their homeland, and, in any case, the Syrian regime is not at all interested in their return. Thus, for many more years even after the war in Syria ends, the problem of the refugees will undoubtedly remain complex, unresolved and an enduring burden on the host countries.
