Reality Check in the Middle East
July 2nd, 2008 by Adam
Rayyan Al Shawaf in the Christian Science Monitor examines the recent events in the Middle East and advises a more sober outlook. The Israel-Hamas ceasefire, Israel-Syria negotiations, and recent events in Lebanon show that even though their are positive developments there are still a plethora of conflicting interests and mistrust amongst the numerous actors. Al Shawaf concludes, “Peace negotiations and cease-fires do not in themselves indicate anything more profound than the usual political jockeying. It is almost impossible to fit all the pieces together so that everybody gets what they want.”
