Abstract

Objective of the study is to identify the nature of the impact of the Arab-Israeli conflict on modern global Islamization processes and the prospects for reducing the negative consequences of Islamization caused by the conflict. Methodological basis of the study. The nature of the impact of the modern crisis is revealed on the basis of a content analysis of modern political, economic, cultural and social events related to the Arab-Israeli conflict and global Islamization processes. Through the prism of a multilateral analysis of documents, forecasts, activities, statements of politicians and international associations, events in the public space of various regions of the world, the current socio-political Islamization processes, their problems and prospects are considered.   Results of the study. The results of the study. The study of the phenomenon of Islamization made it possible to identify the necessary definition of the term and its essential features, which later served as criteria for assessing the impact of conflict on the processes of Islamization themselves. A study of the nature of this influence has revealed that the Islamic community around the world today is a significant force that can become an even more important element of world politics not only in the Middle East, but also in other regions. The issue of Islamic identity plays a very important role in this issue, and therefore in the issue of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Thus, it was found out that the prospects for reducing the impact of the conflict under consideration on the processes of Islamization are closely related to the prospects for its resolution. Prospects of the study are related to the significance of the processes not only for the world, but also for Russia, as a country with a significant proportion of Muslims among the population. For example, the North Caucasus is a region where maintaining stability is an extremely important task. The need to reduce the negative consequences of Islamization determines the importance of research for Russia. Highlighting the signs and essential characteristics of Islamization opens space for a deeper analysis and forecasting of socio-political trends in the region.
