This paper provides an analysis of the Israeli vision and moves in relation to the future of the Syrian scene and its impact on Israeli interests from the perspective of Israel itself.
The paper argues that the hopes Israel had pinned on the new Trump administration were disappointing. Russia has remained the key player the Syrian scene.

This paper provides an analysis of Israel’s reactions to the events during and following Palestinian mass protests in Jerusalem. These were triggered after Israel had decided to install metal detectors at gates to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in response to the operation carried out by three young men from the 1948 territory. The paper analyses Israel’s reactions in terms of dealing with Palestinians inside the Green Line, who contributed significantly to the success of the popular protests in Jerusalem. The paper also looks into Israel’s reactions to the issue of Jerusalem and provides an assessment of the personality of the right wing’s leader and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during this crisis.

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of US President Donald Trump’s visit to Israel, highlighting reflections on the US-Israeli relations on the one hand, and on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the other. The paper hypothesises that Trump’s visit took on many implications and interpretations. In the final analysis, however, Trump’s visit broke away from the US historical position, particularly the former Obama administration’s position towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It also reflected an adoption of Arab positions in the region.
Preface
Within the Israeli society, the Mizrahi-Ashkenazi polarisation has resurfaced, this time more acutely than ever. The recent period has seen a renewed debate over issues, which some thought had disappeared. Beyond doubt, this debate has taken on various dimensions and is driven by several motives. Particularly on the Mizrahi side, political motives have promoted identity politics, which entails clear implications in the electoral process. Other factors relate to the Mizrahi identity and culture. To enhance their status and keep injustices visible on the Israeli scene, factors also involve a discussion of the historical discrimination, which has affected the Mizrahi Jews in Israel. Although it eventually gives rise to the Mizrahi identity, this motive is not triggered by any considerations of identity politics.
