The Turn in Israeli Policy
June 24th, 2008 by Adam
Israel’s recent regional undertakings have been very effective diplomatic gambits, according to Marc Ginsberg at Huffington Post. “Israel has secretly accomplished more diplomatically in the past few months with its adversaries than anything that Condi Rice could have or would have brokered in years — a glaring testament to the ever-shrinking influence of the U.S. in the region…”
On the other hand, Martin Peretz, sees these negotiations as doomed to fail. Peretz asserts that Israel’s negotiations with Syria are a gift and that they are unlikely to produce anything tangible for Israel’s security situation. The Israel-Hamas ceasefire will also have negative consequences in that it emboldens Hamas while marginalizing Fatah in the West Bank.
