However, the momentum of the uprisings was impeded rather quickly, and the hopes held out for the \u201cSpring of the Arab Nations\u201d turned into frustration and disappointment. While many Israelis were focusing their attention in surprise, and some, with doubt and concern as well about what was happening in the region around them; suddenly, in Israel itself, at the height of the steamy summer of 2011, an \u201cIsraeli Spring\u201d broke out. The protesters were young Israelis belonging to the Israeli middle class. Their demands revolved around the slogan, \u201cLet us live in our land.\u201d However, similar to what happened in the Arab world, the Israeli protest subsided little by little. The hassles of daily life and security and foreign affairs concerns once more became the focus of the public's attention. Therefore, the protesters' hopes were disappointed, and Israel's political, economic, and social order remained unshaken. Thus, towards the end of 2017, the memory of the \u201cIsraeli spring\u201d was becoming faded and forgotten. However, while the Arab world was sinking into chaos marked by an ever deepening economic and social crisis that deprived its citizens of any sense of security and stability, Israel, by contrast, was experiencing years of stability in both political and security spheres, as well as economic growth and prosperity. This stability enabled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party to remain in power and to maintain the political and social status-quo in Israel.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijictrame.2018010102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,30]],"date-time":"2017-11-30T17:47:35Z","timestamp":1512064055000},"page":"19-36","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Israel in the Middle East the Aftermath of the Arab Spring (2010-2017)"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Eyal","family":"Zisser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"IJICTRAME.2018010102-0","author":"F.Ajami","year":"2012","journal-title":"The Syrian Rebellion"},{"key":"IJICTRAME.2018010102-1","author":"N.
