Abstract

Palestina ha jugado siempre un rol relevante en la política exterior libia. Durante los primeros años en el poder de Muamar al-Gadafi, la lucha por la emancipación palestina se presentaba como la síntesis de los intereses árabes, musulmanes y del Tercer Mundo frente a la amenaza del imperialismo. A finales de los noventa, cuando el desmoronamiento de la URSS y la caída de los precios del petróleo fuerzan a Libia a transformar radicalmente su política exterior, la propuesta para la creación de una “Isratina” árabe y judía sirve a Gadafi para evidenciar su voluntad de acuerdo con Occidente, mientras que se producen los primeros contactos entre representantes libios e israelíes. En el escenario posterior a la guerra civil, y especialmente tras la llegada del primer ministro Abdel Hamid Dbaiba en 2021, queda patente que las élites en ambas mitades del país desean normalizar las relaciones con Israel a expensas del sentimiento popular mayoritario. La actual agresión contra Gaza ha puesto un freno temporal a unos acercamientos vinculados al sector energético y que, de consolidarse, podrían derivar en enfrentamientos armados.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-09:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 1.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 1 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 5.4.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 6 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/718907
