It depends on who you ask.
According to Sam Huntington, who proposed the idea of "Clash of Civilizations", the answer would be "Yes". Israel is one in a series of conflicts near the edges of Islamic control, an area he calls "Islam's bloody borders". Huntington considers Israel a culturally Western State which would be diametrically opposed to an Islamic State.
Many people contest the idea of a Clash of Civilizations, especially when Huntington considers all of Sub-Saharan Africa one civilization. (Either this does not take into account the wide variety of cultures operating there or assumes Africans to have a "natural tendency to violence".) The different civilization-types fail to take into account the wide variety of cultural uniqueness in each "civilization". Tunisia and Libya are almost completely different worlds, but are neighbors and members of the "Islamic Civilization". Therefore, people who disavow the idea of Clash of Civilizations do not believe the Arab-Israeli Conflict is part of that.
There are also a minority of people who believe Israel to be part of a Middle Eastern "Semitic Civilization" with its neighbors. These groups say the relative weight of religion, propensity of Israeli War Leaders to have a hand in politics, and the Occupation of the West Bank Territories is more reminiscent of an Arab State than a European State. Therefore, in their opinion, the Arab-Israeli Conflict is an intra-civilizational conflict.

Huntington's thesis refers to Samuel P.
