摘要
Since its independence in 1948,Israel's policy on Islam-related issues has long been subordinated to its Arab minority policy.Policy priorities that focused on land resource deprivation and security risk avoidance and its multiple mechanisms for policy implementation highlighted a strategy of securitisation and prag-matism.Since the 1990s,the ascendance of right-wing forces drove Israel's Islam-related policy towards a tougher line,with its concerns shifting from material and security to cultural and ideological ones and resorting more frequently to coercive measures.In this process,the Islamic Movement in Israel became the main opposition force among the Arab community to respond to and challenge the gov-ernment's policy changes.The bilateral mobilisation of Jewish right-wing and hardline Islamist forces amplified the impact of religious issues on the interethnic relations in Israel,which further acceler-ated the trend of radicalisation,Palestinization,and Islamization among the Israeli Arab community.
