| Description | The concept of borders for Israel is important for the nation and as a society because borders construct physical and psychological boundaries with Israel’s neighbors that influence cultural variables, but both internal and external political dialogue. National security is irrevocably linked to borders in Israel. The protection of Israeli citizens and prevention of attack by external forces is dependent upon a foreign policy that takes border security and Israeli territorial integrity into consideration. There exists a unique interdependence different from Israeli allies such as the United States. The following paper explores a specific border and a specific time period that re-imagined Israeli national security and altered its foreign policy. The methodological context is a case study of the relationship between the key actors from the U.S. and Israel during the Sinai disengagement negotiations with Egypt following the 1973 Yom Kipper War and final signing of the Sinai II. The theoretical context is neoclassical realism utilizing self-interest and poliheuristic theory of leaders decision-making. |
