Abstract

This article focuses on the campaign waged by Herut, a right-wing National-Liberal party and its leader, Menachem Begin, to abolish the Military Government imposed on the Arab citizens of Israel between the years 1948-1966. The article draws on multiple sources that have not yet been studied to analyze Herut’s struggle for the annulment of the Military Government, while placing it in a broad historical and political context. It shows that Herut derived certain political benefits by campaigning for the annulment of the Military Government. However, it also establishes that Herut paid a price for its campaign, suffering criticism from within the right-wing political camp and wrestling with allegations from the left-wing political camp. The analysis of Herut’s campaign for the annulment of the Military Government illuminates the liberal ideological foundations of the movement that has held sway in Israel for over four decades, affirming its commitment to liberal values, and the belief of its founding father, Begin, in civic equality between Jews and Arabs in Israel.

摘要

本文重点介绍右翼民族自由党赫鲁特及其领导人梅纳赫姆·贝京（Menachem Begin）发起的运动，旨在废除 1948 年至 1966 年间对以色列阿拉伯公民实施的军政府。本文利用尚未研究的多个来源来分析赫鲁特为废除军政府而进行的斗争，同时将其置于广泛的历史和政治背景中。这表明赫鲁特通过竞选废除军政府获得了一定的政治利益。然而，它也确定赫鲁特为其竞选付出了代价，遭受右翼政治阵营内部的批评，并与左翼政治阵营的指控作斗争。
