Abstract

Palestinian Arabs who remained within Israel’s post 1948 borders are transformed into Israel’s citizens and its legal and organic elements. Likewise, with the effect of illegal settlement policies implemented after 1977, Arabs who live in the territories which Israel has occupied in 1967 became de facto part of Israel. The people who are de jure or de facto elements of Israel are in the same time labelel as security threats. And this inconsistent situation is the essential security gap and risk for the future of the state of Israel. The only way of providing security in a sufficent level for the people (Jewish or Arab) under the sovereignty of Israel is desecuritizing its Arab citizens and the Arabs in occupied territories. This work considers that it is essential to perform a theoretical analysis on the onthology of security before dealing with the question of Israel-Palestine in the context of the securitisation and security. In the first part of this study, the interrelation between security, law, politics, ethic and economy is disscussed and a theoretical frame is drawn. In the second part, this theorethical frame is associated with the Israeli-Palestinian case.
