Muráňová, Petra ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Hlavsová, Aneta (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the influence of religion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, doing it in three different ways. Firstly, it examines the influence of the religion in the history of the conflict, then it looks for the potential religious impacts on the political parties and movements as the main actors deciding about the course of the conflict and it also analyzes the influence of the religion on one of the partial problems of this conflict, the question of the city of Jerusalem. The outcome of the bachelor thesis is the finding that the influence of the religion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a marginal one, but on the contrary, the religion has a considerable impact on the events of the conflict and also on the way the conflict is percieved by its actors.

Svobodová, Kateřina ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Burešová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis follows the development of the Gaza Strip during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The first part is focused on the history of the conflict with emphasis placed on the events that influenced the analysed area. In the next chapter, events of the 21st century that affected the current situation and living conditions in this area were discussed, namely the Israeli unilateral disengagement from Gaza, economic blockade imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip, and three military operations that Israel executed in this territory during the ongoing blockade. The consequences of the blockade and military actions have thrown the examined area into a state that is on the edge of inhabitability Attention is also paid to the Palestinian political scene, namely to the rise of the Islamist Hamas movement and the increasing rivalry between the Fatah and Hamas factions. It is precisely the internal problems and instability of the Palestinian leadership that are currently among the obstacles to finding a peaceful solution to the whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Zelinková, Anežka ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Eberle, Jakub (referee)
This diploma thesis titled "Developments of the Foreign Policy of FRG in Relation to the Palestinian Question 1967-1974" aims to bring closer look at the dynamics of development of the foreign policy of the Federal Republic of Germany in the time when the Palestinian question began to resonate with international community. This empirical study, inspired in its' structure by the Two-Level Game concept by Robert D. Putnam, examines the effects that the Bonn Republic had to deal with in the context of today's unresolved and often polarizing issues and identify factors that were decisive for shaping of the policy. The thesis operates with hypothesis that the pro-Palestinian speech of the representative of West Germany at the United Nations in 1974 was the natural outcome of the transformation that foreign policy has undergone in the years leading to it. After the historical part, which describes the relationship between Germany and the South Levant region until 1945, the second and third chapters deal with the external and internal influences that influenced the FRG in the chosen period. Among the strongest international influences were the US, Israel, Arab states and multilateral actors such as the UN and the European Community. On the national level, in addition to political parties, public opinion,...

Ondrová, Sára ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
The diploma thesis explores how the selected Czech and French media inform about the Israeli- Palestinian conflict using the operation Protective Edge, from summer 2014, as an example. Theory of the thesis is based on the relationship between power and media in society and examines reciprocal impact between political and media power. Two national daily newspapers from each country were chosen for the analysis. These two newspapers also present opposite poles of the political spectrum in each country. Media contents of the daily newspapers Mladá fronta DNES, Právo, Le Figaro and Le Monde are analysed with combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. This methodology helps to create a comprehensive image of the conflict represented by the researched media. Quantitative analysis aims to describe the balance of the coverage and differences between French and Czech media in context with the representation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The research also focuses on the impact of the foreign policy of France and the Czech Republic on media contents of the analysed media. Qualitative analysis works with smaller sample of texts and aims to present the representation of the war by the French and Czech media.

The Legal Status of a Resistance Movement and the Analysis of its Acts Within the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Pohořská, Barbora ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Faix, Martin (referee)
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict brings up many questions considering and reaching into several different spheres, including the spheres of law. This thesis focuses on the question of the organized resistance movement against occupation and on its legal status. It is known that the inhabitants of every occupied territory are allowed to protect themselves and their territory from the occupier, thus they are allowed to resist the occupation and to claim a recognition of their resistance movement and of its acts as legal acts. Although the resistance movement is a well known term, there is no official definition of this movement and its legal framework is quite narrow; it only establishes the characteristics needed in order for its members to gain a status and a legal protection similar to the regular combatants. It is limited from its name that the resistance movement against occupation may only exists in the territory where an actual occupation takes place. In order to characterize the organized resistance movement against occupation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is necessary for this thesis to first answer several supporting questions concerning the actual status of the specific conflict and look closer whether or not is the concerned territory actually occupied. After reaching a...

Turkey as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: analysis of existing role and future potential
Michálková, Kateřina ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
This master thesis deals with past mediation attempts of Turkey to solve the Israeli- Palestinian conflict and with the potential of future Turkish mediation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict have been for several decades one of the biggest problems for the international security, therefore, analysing possible solutions is very important. Turkey is an actor with a special position, because it is a regional power with ties both to Islamic culture and to the West. That is why it has in theory a potential to play successful mediation role in this conflict. In this thesis, we will evaluate Turkey's existing role and after that, we will analyse the future potential with the help of the mediation conceptual framework that is described in the scholarly literature on conflict resolution and conflict management. Our research questions are: Can Turkey play a successful mediator role in the future? If yes, what conditions have to take place? Turkey tries to play a role in this conflict since the early 1990s and despite the fact that there has been a disruption of the diplomatic relations between Israel and Turkey, it is very likely that in the future a normalization will occur. If that happes, can Turkey broker peace?

The Engagement of US Foreign Policy at the 2000 Camp David Summit
Boháčová, Veronika ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyzes the involvement of American foreign policy at the summit at Camp David in 2000. The summit should have been a culmination of the peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians, should have led to the signing of final agreement and should be established a lasting peace. The Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat did not sign the final agreement, however, instead of peace the second intifada was proclaimed. The final peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians has not been signed since then. Many experts believe that during the second term of the Clinton Administration, both parties were the closest to resolving the conflict. This bachelor thesis, based on research and analysis of mainly secondary sources, focuses on describing and explaining the events before and at the summit and seeks to provide an unbiased view on the influence of the United States on preparation, progress and outcome of the summit. The widely accepted US-Israeli interpretation that Ehud Barak gave an unprecedented generous offer and Yasser Arafat uncompromisingly rejected it does not represent an objective point of view. Similarly, the less publicized Palestinian version that it was a US-Israeli conspiracy to legalize the Israeli occupation has serious...
