| Summary/Abstract |
Relations between David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir were complex and saw many ups and downs over the years. Having enjoyed fruitful collaboration prior to and after Israel’s establishment, with Meir even appointed foreign minister at the height of her career, they were never close friends. The relationship took a steep downhill course in the early 1960s, culminating in Ben-Gurion’s secession from the ruling Mapai party and the establishment of his own rival Rafi party. This article describes and analyzes the complex relationship and the rift between these two central leaders of Mapai and its impact on the party and on the political map.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 21 March 1968, nine months after the Six-Day War, the IDF launched a military operation against the Jordanian town of Karameh, which served as the headquarters of the Fatah terrorist organisation and a springboard for attacks against Israel. Yet rather than deal Fatah a crushing blow, the operation boosted its strength and prestige. Coming in the wake of the astounding June 1967 victory, the Karameh battle underscored the operational difficulties awaiting the IDF in its prolonged low-intensity warfare against non-state terror organisations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The history of the Yarkon River in the twentieth century reveals the ecological problem of the principal perennial stream flowing almost entirely within the country. Until the 1950s, the Yarkon was a pleasant stream, but the water was insanitary for drinking or swimming. Since the construction and expansion of the Yarkon‒Negev pipeline Project, part of the National Water Plan (since 1955), the water level has gone down and pollution has increased. This article deals with the story of the contamination of the Yarkon, the reflection of this situation in the press, and the failed attempts to purify the river in the decades after the establishment of the State of Israel.
