Beyond the Clash of Civilizations:A Hypothetical Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict based on the“Five Relationships Culture”Theory

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,also be called Arab-Israeli conflict,is a touchstone for the twentieth and twenty-fifirst centuries.The“Five Relationships Culture”is a theory developed by the Chinese people from their own origin and roots,from experience awareness,through conceptual reflection,and then theory construction.The perspective of cultural reconciliation of Palestinian-Israeli conflict provided by the“Five Relationships Culture”Theory may be a relatively unique explanation.

Israel's Domestic Policy on Islam-Related Issues: A Preliminary Appraisal

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.

The One-State Solution:An Alternative Approach to the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict?

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict has been one of the most controversial issues in the Middle East since 1948.Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization signed in 1993 the Oslo Peace Accord,which aimed at settling the dispute between Israel and Palestine.This peace accord rested on the two-state solution whereby Palestine and Israel would live side by side in peace.Since then,the two-state solution has been the paradigm for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.However,over the last decade,Israel and the Palestinian Authority have not reached any fruitful agreements through negotiation.Followed by the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada(2000–2006),the domination of Hamas in Gaza(since 2006),three major strikes on Gaza by Israeli forces(2009,2012,2014)and repeated territorial fragmentations of the West Bank,the Israeli–Palestinian conflict has persisted and perhaps,getting even worsen;this development has cast doubt on the two-state solution.Against this backdrop,the one-state solution,which has become a heated academic debate in the West,appears to present an alternative solution.Therefore,this paper aims to analyze the reasons for the emergence of the onestate paradigm as an alternative to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in recent years.What is the idea behind the one-state solution?Who are the academic proponents of this solution?What about this plan?These questions are the subject of dispute.This article will provide an evaluation of the one-state solution。
