Israel, Iraq, and the Palestinians – As the U.S. Moves Toward War

Israel, Iraq, and the Palestinians – As the U.S. Moves Toward War

October 21, 2002 | Ze'ev Schiff
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Ariel Sharon realized in 1991 that if Jordan were Palestine, Iraqi forces could be deployed very close to Israel's border. A number of Israeli leaders felt that Israeli deterrence was damaged by the policy of restraint in 1991. If Israel did not react to the use of gas or chemical weapons against it, then the lessons of the Holocaust would be meaningless.

Missile Proliferation in the Middle East

August 13, 2002 | Prof. Moshe Arens
The present Iraqi capability is relatively limited. According to recent U.S. estimates, Iraq may have a dozen or two Scud missiles that were not caught by UN inspectors. They are working to attain nuclear capability but do not have it at the moment. However, both the Iraqis and the Iranians have chemical warheads, and both probably have biological weapons as well.
