The Approach of the First and Second Obama Administration to Israel: A Comparison Between 2009 and 2014
Čurdová, Markéta ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
This thesis aims to compare the approach of the first and second Obama admi- nistrations to Israel between years 2009 and 2014. It analyzes American foreign policy with respect to Israel through several criteria including the process of conflict resolution, Obama's rhetoric and number of visits into the region made by secretaries of state. The work also observes what effect the Arab spring and the Iranian nuclear program had on American policy towards Israel. By comparing these criteria the author identifies the main differences in the ap- proach to Israel. The thesis verifies the hypothesis that the first Obama admi- nistration accepted pro-Palestinian approach with regard to resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that it was willing to act more independently on Israel with regard to geopolitical development in the region. The thesis an- swers four questions. How did the approach of the two Obama administrations to Israel-Palestinian conflict change? How did the geopolitical events in the re- gion affect the approach to Israel? Is it possible to observe an exertion of higher pressure on Tel Aviv to make compromises? Does the American perspective of Israel as an ally change in the long run?

The aim of this master thesis is to analyse the evolution of US-Israeli and US-Iranian relations and to compare the influence of Iranian nuclear program negotiations on the nature of bilateral relations. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter includes theoretical background; the second chapter focuses on US-Israeli relations while the third chapter on US-Iranian relations, from their inception to the present. The final chapter deals with the Iranian nuclear program and negotiations initiated after the Iranian presidential election in 2013, including the impact of these negotiations on the current Iran-US-Israeli relations.

Americká bezpečnostní politika vůči Iránskému jadernému programu
Kejdušová, Michaela ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (referee)
The Iran's nuclear program makes really deep wrinkles to the United States as one of the main supporters of peace and stability in the world. Despite the fact that Iran has not showed any tests of its nuclear weapons, the USA still tends to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities to protect its national interests. The aim of the thesis is not only to analyze US foreign policy towards Iran but also to deal with the issue of the US non-intervention of Iranian territory to halt the Iranian nuclear program.
