| Open Access | RELIGIOUS NATIONALISM IN THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT: EXAMINING THE ROLE OF RELIGION
Dr. Zahra Hamdy , Ain Shams University, Cairo, EgyptAbstract
This study explores the intricate relationship between religious nationalism and the Israel-Palestine conflict, examining how religious beliefs and identities shape political agendas, territorial claims, and intergroup dynamics. By analyzing historical and contemporary events, the research highlights the significant influence of Judaism and Islam in the nationalistic narratives of both Israelis and Palestinians. The study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how religion interplays with nationalism, fueling the protracted conflict and affecting prospects for peace. Through qualitative analysis of religious texts, political speeches, and grassroots movements, the research elucidates the complex role of religion in perpetuating and potentially resolving the conflict.
