Abstract The Zionist extremists' different interpretations of political decisions and their approaches and ideas on how to deal with domestic issues have been challenging for its political structure since the establishment of the Zionist regime. This article examines the nature, extent and type of extremist challenge for this regime and the approach of the political structure in dealing with them. The main question is: what kind of extremists is the most important challenges for the Zionist regime and what is the approach of the regime political structure in response to it? The hypothesis is that the "pragmatic right-wing extremists" have created the most important challenges for the Zionist regime and the political structure has selected the policy of selective confrontation in response to them; Taken some of them seriously and neglected others. The findings show that the extremists' current challenge to the political structure of the Zionist regime has diminished; Because they reorganize themselves within the framework of dynamic parties and are compatible with the political climate, in order to effectively influence the decision-making space of this regime and thus pursue their interests.

Abstract Increasing the water consumption, climate change, and water resource management inefficiencies in many South-west Asian countries have been associated with threats to water security, intensified rivalry, and hydro-political tensions. In the meantime, a large part of the Zionist regime's territory is justified in connection with access to the water resources of the peripheral countries. However, over the past decade and a half, the change in the compatible management model to water scarcity and advanced water desalination technology has put the regime in a position to be a pioneer in the field and supply of new water technology in addition to meeting its water needs. Meanwhile, other actors are facing serious problems in this regard. According to the authors, the regional foreign policy of the Zionist regime, based on the hydro-political considerations, has led to redefining the role of this regime in the region; in a way that a new territory can be defined based on it.

Abstract Formation of the concept of security in Iran, in the most obvious way possible in the constitutionalism era, if not started, at least must be said to have peaked and evolved with a wide range and intensity in the historical-political developments of this land; In a way that in the fifth decade of the Islamic Revolution, a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of it in the form of security governance has been the basis for scholars to study. However, the concept of security can be traced back to ancient times, when the term was an unknown and unfamiliar phenomenon in theology. The concept of security in this context, in its simple sense, means, order, stability, caution from anxiety and danger emanating from the ruling apparatus. Organizing the relationship between the state or government and the subjects (citizens), or in the post-constitutionalism -the nation- with the aim of expanding the power of the Shah and the continuation of his powerful monarchy, has been an important turning point in the cognitive thinking of security in the Iranian intellectual system.

Abstract Construction and regeneration of the Jewish identity based on Zionist discourse, currently perused and undergone by the Israeli government, both at domestic and international levels, is one of the important processes in the said discourse. A scrutiny and illustration of various aspects of this mechanism will lead to revealing the hidden layers of the Zionist behavior and approach at internal and external levels. Given the importance of the way of constructing the Jewish identity concurrent with the Zionist discourse, the paper intends to answer the question of regeneration of the Jewish identity within the framework of its own purposes.  Thus it argues that the Zionist discourse is generating the Jewish identity through a distinction construct, while emphasizing Anti-Semitism, organizing the Jews in the Zionist distinction groupings and taking position against “other” identities consistent with the above said purposes.
