The Impact of the Israeli Political System on the Arab–Israeli Conflict

2025-10-05T11:12:16+02:00

This study aimed to analyze the impact of the Israeli political system on the course of the Arab–Israeli conflict, based on the central question: How has the Israeli political system contributed to shaping the state’s policies toward the Arab conflict? To achieve this objective, the study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach supported by the decision-making methodology, by examining the internal structure of the Israeli political system and observing its interactions with historical and regional factors influencing the nature of the conflict, with particular attention to developments extending up to the 2023 Gaza war.

The study concluded that the nature of the Israeli political system, characterized by party pluralism and fragile coalitions, directly influenced decisions related to the conflict, yet it did not undermine consensus on security priorities. The findings also revealed that the historical roots of the conflict continue to constitute a fundamental determinant of Israeli policies, and that the regional impact of the conflict has contributed to reshaping alliances within the Middle East. The study recommended intensifying Arab research on the mechanisms of Israeli decision-making, enhancing regional coordination to mitigate the repercussions of its policies, and developing research tools to understand its security and diplomatic strategies.

م.م The Theory of Deterrence in Punishments: A Comparative Study between the Islamic Juisprudence and Positive Law

2025-10-21T14:25:57+02:00

This study examines the theory of deterrence in punishments by comparing Islamic criminal jurisprudence and positive law, focusing on the fundamental differences between the two systems, and the extent to which each is able to address social reality, in addition to explaining the effect of each in achieving deterrence, and fairness to the offender in terms of entitlement and the balance between punishment and reform.

This study came in two sections: The first section came to explain the theory of deterrence in punishments in terms of explaining the concept of the theory of deterrence, punishment, and the types of punishment between Islamic jurisprudence and positive law. On the other hand, the second section discusses the pillars and objectives of deterrence in punishments between Islamic jurisprudence and positive law, in terms of explaining the pillars and objectives of deterrence in positive law, the principles and objectives of punishment in Islamic jurisprudence, and the importance of the penal system in Islamic law in controlling the state of society.

In his study, the researcher used the inductive approach with regard to deterrence in Islamic jurisprudence and positive law, the descriptive approach in terms of describing the theory of deterrence by stating what it is based on, and the comparative approach in terms of comparing them in terms of results.

Reconsidering the Jordanian Legislative Approach to the Coercion and Criminal Accountability “Analytical Critical Study”

2025-10-05T10:47:36+02:00

This study aims to demonstrate the shortcomings of the legislative policy adopted by the Jordanian criminal legislator in addressing both physical and moral coercion. It examines the concept of coercion, its conditions and limitations, how it differs from other similar legal concepts, and its impact on the course of criminal proceedings in general.

The study follows a descriptive-analytical approach and reaches several conclusions, the most prominent of which is that the Jordanian legislator bases the provisions of criminal liability on awareness and perception. However, the legislative approach to addressing both types of coercion is flawed and subject to criticism.

The study offers several recommendations to the Jordanian legislator, including the need to reformulate the legal provisions regulating coercion. It recommends that moral coercion be treated as an obstacle to criminal responsibility, rather than merely as an obstacle to punishment. At the same time, it urges that physical coercion should be regarded as a justification that eliminates the criminal nature of the wrongful act.
