USIM Research Repository.https://oarep.usim.edu.my/handle/123456789/23566Matric: 4201038 (PPT)The study aimed to know where do the Gulf Cooperation Council countries stand regarding normalization with "Israel", and their role in the process of settling the Palestinian-"Israeli" conflict, and to determine the repercussions of normalization of relations on the Palestinian cause. To review the historical development of the normalization of "Israeli"-Gulf relations, as well as the decision-making approach to explain the decision-making mechanisms of Gulf decision-making towards the "Israeli occupation" and relations with it, as well as the forward-looking approach to predicting the future of the Palestinian cause, and future scenarios for the Palestinians' dealings with the issue of normalization. The study concluded in its results that some countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council believe that normalization with "Israel" does not harm the Palestinian cause, but rather contributes to bringing the Palestinian-"Israeli" views closer to the establishment of peace between them, and helps the establishment of the Palestinian state, but normalization affected the issue And the interests of the normalizing states became the priority without paying attention to the Palestinian issue, and the "Abraham" agreements established Israel's relations with the Arab countries, helped them ignore the Palestinian issue, and gave "Israel" an entry ticket to the Arab region without paying a price for that or offering any actual solutions to the Palestinian issue. Or actual progress for the Palestinian - "Israeli" peace process. The study recommended escalating practical and effective rejection of normalization within a unified national strategy that integrates the official and popular dimensions, protects the Palestinian issue from liquidation, calls on Gulf governments to cease normalizing their relations with Israel, as normalization constitutes abandonment of the Palestinian cause, and advocates for the issuance of legislation criminalizing Israeli-Gulf (Arab) normalization by the Arab League to pressure countries normalizing their ties with Israel to sever them, and to enact further laws prohibiting normalization individually in each country.ArGulf Cooperation CouncilIsraelPalestinianNormalizationIsraeli-Gulf (Arab)History"Abraham" agreementsDiplomatic relationstext::thesis::doctoral thesis
