The publication of such an interpretation of the Holy Quran among the masses of the People of the Book and other non-Muslims on the one hand, and the use of the Israeli statements found in the two Testaments on the other, doubles the importance of analyzing and measuring the compatibility of the Israelis in this book with the verses of the Quran; a topic that has so far been less explored by researchers and has also remained in the spotlight in critical studies of contemporary interpretation. Therefore, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, has examined the application of Israelitism in contemporary interpretation of the verses of Surah Al-Baqarah and, while introducing some of its strengths, has challenged some of the applications of these propositions in the aforementioned book with a critical approach.e, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, has examined the application of Israelitism in contemporary interpretation of the verses of Surah Al-Baqarah and, while introducing some of its strengths,
