Abstract
Today, the State of Israel is the only country that can claim a greater number of trees on its soil than it did a hundred years ago. The expansion of green areas in a region such as the Middle East, which is exposed to the effects of desertification, is not a virtuous anomaly due to a natural singularity but the effect of meticulously planned human action. This study explores the geopolitical significance of the territory through an analysis of the Israeli forestry phenomenon, placing itself within the broader epistemological debate on the relationship between nature and society. In general terms, the research problem is to investigate the power dynamics underlying Israeli reforestation practices. In particular, an attempt has been made to reconstruct the dynamics through which this phenomenon has played a role in the Israeli-Palestinian question.
