Debates on state identity in the palestinian-Israeli conflict : clash of political and religious paradigms

Abstract EN

The present paper addresses the question of the debates about the identity of the state in the Palestinian- Israeli conflict on the basis that the matter went over the level of transcending the two- state solution and the single, democratic, bi-national state, and the unified, secular, democratic state for all its citizens.

However, it became a true Israeli issue based on the Jewishness of the state.

In other words, the increase in official and unofficial Israeli demands for an obligation to proceed with the path of a purely Jewish Israeli state, whether in the concept of national, or religious Judaism.

As a matter of fact, this raises many political problems, religious and identity debates within the Israeli and Palestinian political, societal, and religious components alike.

The paper analyzes the following question : To what extent does political interfere with religious ideology in debates and theoretical proposals for the future of the state in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict?.
