| Summary/Abstract |
This article investigates the context and development of the Israel Defence Industries (IDI) during the period 1930–2018. During this timeframe, the IDI was forced to transform several times with the Israel Ministry of Defence acting as the main facilitator. Well established links among government institutions, academia, investors and the IDI contribute to armament quality and innovations which supports market expansion. Nevertheless, US support remains an important enabler in facilitating the IDI developments. Nowadays, the IDI is an important player in Israeli economics that contributes to the exports and facilitates developments in other sectors.

This article presents a new conceptual and theoretical outlook on the municipal-demographic phenomenon of mixed cities, in which minority groups penetrate homogenous spaces. The findings show that the penetration of Jewish cities by Arab minorities in Israel has become widespread – especially in the periphery of the country. While the State and local authorities view this phenomenon as problematic – from a national, municipal, and demographic point of view, their solutions are limited to programmes that encourage increased Jewish residence in these cities to preserve the existing demographic advantage. Many of these mixed cities are characterised by increased tension between Arabs and Jews, decreased socioeconomic status, negative migration balance, and Arab minorities settling in the outskirts of the city or weaker neighbourhoods.

| Summary/Abstract |
The architects of the Oslo process, at both the academic and intelligence levels, used the faulty ‘New Middle East’ paradigm to posit that the Palestinians were ripe for peacemaking. They ignored the considerable strength of the Islamists who, controlled by the Iranian regime, were deployed as peace spoilers. More than two decades after the collapse of the 2000 Camp David summit, the role of the Iranians has not been fully understood, leading most observers to assume that the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are independent actors.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using data from Annual Social Surveys of the Central Bureau of Statistics, this article focuses on patterns of digital inequality among Israeli single mothers in 2014–19. Only half of single mothers in Israel used e-government services. A higher percentage of e-government use was found among high socioeconomic status (SES) single mothers, compared to their counterparts from low SES. Both groups preserve their pace of e-government adoption; so if the effective intervention strategies won’t be applied, the between-groups gaps will exist in the near future. In the context of digital inequality policy makers should address single mothers according to their social class.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article offers a game theory-based theoretical framework for explaining the Israel–Hamas indirect ceasefire negotiations in the decade attending the Islamist organisation’s takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007. It shows that Hamas’s relentless commitment to Israel’s destruction notwithstanding, whenever the two adversaries reached ad hoc agreements, both collaborated (however, indirectly) in maintaining a state of calm. As such, the proposed analytical framework provides a useful tool for conflict management analysis in terms of actions, duration and modes of settlement.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit Israel in March 2020 and the government imposed a number of lockdowns, Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) rabbis instructed their followers to continue attending synagogues and engage in Torah study. As a result, the relative number of COVID-19 infections and fatalities in the Haredi community was higher than that of the Israeli population as a whole. This article examines the role of the mass media during the crisis in Israel’s largest Haredi city of Bnei Beraq, via interviews with 405 of the city’s residents. It shows that despite rabbinic bans on exposure to the secular media and to the Internet, many Haredim were exposed to them and hence less dependent on the Haredi media.

This article examines the similarities and differences between Janusz Korczak’s concept of the teacher and the concept of the teacher in contemporary Israel. It also examines the correspondence between Korczak the man, his principles, and educational endeavours, as well as his portrayal in painting and sculpture. The findings show that the more freely a teacher feels able to work within the education system, the greater the satisfaction. This trend was evident in all three satisfaction criteria: decision-making, general satisfaction, and satisfaction with the students. The findings show that teachers and principals see their role in the way portrayed in the works of art commemorating Korczak and his educational work. This teacher, educational leader and visionary remains relevant to this day, and perhaps now, more than ever.

This article examines the triangular relationship between Jews, Israel and Kurds with a view to unravelling the myths that revolved around them. It argues that the millenarian relationship between Kurdistan’s Jews and their non-Jewish neighbours notwithstanding, the myriad of ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ myths surrounding present-day Jewish-Israeli-Kurdish relations have flourished against the backdrop of a dearth of documented history of both Jewish and non-Jewish communities of pre-modern Kurdistan; the asymmetry of relations between a state actor – Israel, and a non-state ethno-national group – the Kurds; and the fact that both groups represent minorities within the larger Muslim milieu whose neighbours have delegitimized their right to national self-determination.

| Summary/Abstract |
How does the Israel Defence Forces cultivate the image of a ‘hero’ within its combat ranks? By analysing a series of online educational videos on combat heritage, this article will demonstrate how the IDF’s current heroic imagination is grounded in a subversion of the ‘Strategic Corporal’ paradigm. Within this paradigm, junior ranking soldiers are seen as increasing the chaos inherent in asymmetrical conflicts. By contrast, this article will argue that a focus on the learned elements of professionalism and training are seen as creating the conditions wherein every man (or woman) can become a ‘hero’.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using the Mincer equation and the Oaxaca decomposition, this article examines what part of the gender wage gap in Israel during the years 2005–16 can be explained by differences in demographic attributes and preferences of men and women and what part cannot be explained by these variables, hence indicates gender discrimination. Findings show that during the examined period, there was no systematic change in the unexplained wage gap. However, in the years 2017–18, the unexplained wage gap between men and women began to decrease.
