Abstract :Israel’s aggressive foreign policy and use of excessive violence trigger profound concerns and draw reaction from regional countries and international community. Israel’s sui generis domestic factors, created by socio-cultural and historically-religiously legitimized claims, closely affect its aggressiveness within the country and beyond.

Then contemporary dynamics in Israeli politics creating a strong religious-right tendency will be evaluated while focusing on the last parliamentary elections insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(March 2021);.
