چکیده

استدلال این مقاله این است که هرچند اندیشمندان منتقدی نظیر یورام پری، اورن باراک و گابریل شفر به استقلال و نفوذ ارتش اسرائیل در حوزه مدنی اشاره می‏کنند، اما بخش‏های مهمی از این مداخلات را نادیده می‏گیرند که نتیجه آن غافل‏شدن از نکات اساسی در زمینه روابط دولت و ارتش در رژیم صهیونیستی است. نفوذ ارتش اسرائیل در دولت و نهادهای مدنی از چهار طریق عمده صورت‌ می‌پذیرد: ارائه توصیه‌های سیاسی و اطلاعات استراتژیک به دولت، شکل‏دهی به افکار عمومی در اسرائیل، حکمرانی ارتش در مناطق اشغالی به بهانه مقابله با انتفاضة فلسطین و به‏دست‏گرفتن مهم‏ترین پست‌های عرصة سیاست توسط افسران نظامی. این نوشتار این مسئله را مرکز توجه قرار خواهد داد که هرچند ارتش اسرائیل در پیشبرد اهداف خود در برخی برهه‌های زمانی ناموفق بوده است، اما با کاربست سازوکارهای متعددی در سیاست‌های این رژیم تأثیری عمیق می‌گذارد.

Army's Influence on Israel's Political and Decision-Making System

چکیده [English]

This article argues that although critical thinkers such as Yoram Peri, Oren Barak, and Gabriel Sheffer point to the independence and influence of Israel's army in the civil area, they disregard large parts of these interferences, which results in ignoring key issues in the relations between the Zionist regime's government and army. Israel's army exerts influence on the government and civil society organizations through four major ways: providing the government with political advice and strategic intelligence, shaping the public opinion in Israel, the army ruling over the occupied territories under the pretext of fighting against the Palestinian intifada, and military officers assuming the most important posts in the political arena. This article brings this issue into the spotlight that although Israel's army has failed in certain periods to advance its agenda, it exerts profound influence on the regime's policies by using various mechanisms.
