After the Palestinian Elections

January 20, 2005 | Ehud Yaari

The new Palestinian leadership has decided implicitly to deny Arafat his wish to be recognized as a martyr, as someone who died in battle. This is probably the first step on the road to the de-Arafatization of the PLO and the PA. Abu Mazen wants to do a Sadat. Within six months of succeeding Nasser, Sadat changed the political lay of the land in Egypt, introducing new people and new policies in a dramatic manner.

What if Bush Invited Sharon and Abu Mazen to Camp David? The Prospects for Negotiations in the Post-Arafat Era

January 2, 2005 | Amb. Dore Gold, David Keyes

At President Clinton's failed Camp David peace summit in mid-2000, Barak offered more than any Israeli prime minister in history.

Lessons of the Gaza Security Fence for the West Bank

December 23, 2004 | Maj. Gen. (res.) Doron Almog

As part of the implementation of Oslo, Israel gave up 80 percent of Gaza on May 18, 1994. When we talk about disengagement from Gaza, this means withdrawal from the remaining 20 percent of the area. During my time as Commander of Southern Command in the years 2000-2003, there were more than 400 attempts by Palestinians to cross into Israel, all of which failed. Together with rebuilding the fence, a key security element was the creation of a one-kilometer security buffer zone.
