Normalization of relations with Israel is one of the biggest risks currently facing the Palestine issue. For it aims to reshape the Arab and Islamic relations, values and concepts towards the Israeli occupation, in accordance with the Israeli point of view, and it makes the Palestine issue lose its Arab and Islamic aspects, singling it out in an effort to close the issue.

As for the seventh chapter, by Dr. Mahmud ‘Abdul-Majid ‘Assaf, it discusses the implications of normalization on the Arab educational discourse. Dr. Hikmat ‘Ayesh al-Masry discusses in the eighth chapter the role of Palestinian universities in consolidating social responsibility and promoting national fundamentals among university students in light of normalization.
