Upturning the traditional view of religion as a source of conflict,
this book studies Islamic perspectives of international conflict
resolution, re-interpreting the possibility of Israel-Palestine
reconciliation beyond traditional secular frameworks. Beginning
with an analysis of both classical and modern Islamic texts, the
book provides a theoretical overview of Islamic conflict resolution
before exploring the Israel-Palestine conflict in its historical,
social and political dimensions. This framework allows for a
real-world examination of Islamic conflict resolution in the
context of Israel-Palestine theological debates. The author also
critically assesses differing ideological and political views among
Islamic scholars, divided by those supporting and those opposing a
peace treaty between Israel and Palestine. Ultimately, it is argued
that neglecting religion misses the opportunity to inject the
spiritual dimension needed for reconciling the Israelis and
Palestinians. The book's multi-disciplinary approach will be of
interest to a range of academics and policymakers, including those
involved in International Relations and Islamic Studies. However,
its accessible prose and engaging content will also appeal to
undergraduates and general readers interested in Middle Eastern
politics.
