  • Israel Debates No. 13
    Israel Debates No. 13 13 December 2012 Oslo, 20 Years Later: Is the Two-State Solution Dead? The Middle East Peace Process is in a deadlock and has seized up. Ever since Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government came to power in the spring of 2009, there have been no meaningful negotiations with his counterpart, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict factually disappeared from Israel’s foreign policy agenda, which was dominated by the threat of Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the upheavals in the Arab world which were equally perceived as threats, in particular the rise of Islamic political forces and the electoral victory of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. And yet, two consecutive events promptly placed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict back at the top of the political agenda, not only in Israel but internationally too. These were the eight-day military escalation between Israel and Hamas and other radical movements in Gaza (14 to 21 November 2012) on the one hand, and the recognition of Palestine as an observer state by 138 out of 193 UN member states in New York on 29 November 2012. The renewed fighting ended with the establishment of a ceasefire negotiated by Egypt’s President Mursi and US President Obama. Nevertheless, it cannot be overlooked that while Hamas suffered many losses, the movement emerged from this conflict politically strengthened. With rockets and terror, Hamas achieved what Mahmoud Abbas tried in vain with dialogue and the renunciation of the use of force: bring Israel to the negotiating

  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

  • Israel Appoints Former Leader of West Bank Settlers As New Ambassador to Brazil
    Israel Appoints Former Leader of West Bank Settlers as New Ambassador to Brazil By Taisa Sganzerla Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, August 07, 2015 In-depth Report: PALESTINE Global Voices 5 August 2015 Image: Daniel Dayan, former chairman of the West Bank settlement council. Photo: Wikimedia Commons Israel has appointed prominent settler-advocate Dani Dayan as new ambassador to Brazil. Dayan publicly opposes the two-state solution and has previously told the press that ‘those who do are either naive or liars’. Brazil officially recognized the Palestinian state in December, 2010. However, Brazil has not established full diplomatic ties with Palestinians. Following the disproportionate use of force during theIsraeli offensive in Gaza in July 2014, Brazil called back its ambassador in Tel Aviv for consultation. This prompted Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor to lament Brazil’s decision and call it “diplomatica dwarf” and an “irrelevant diplomatic partner”. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Dayan’s appointment on Twitter: I have appointed @dandayan as ambassador to Brazil. I am confident that he will be able to strengthen relations between Israel and Brazil. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) August 5, 2015 Argentina native, Dani Dayan, 59, acts as foreign envoy of the Yesha Council, an organization formed to promote Jewish settlement in the West Bank and, before 2005, in the Gaza Strip as well. He served as chairman of the organization between 2007 and 2013. In 2012, he signed an op-ed in the New York Times titled “Settlers are here to stay”, in which he argued Israel “legitimately seized” the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1967 and has a “moral claim” to these areas: Giving up this land in the name of a hallowed two-state solution would mean rewarding those who’ve historically sought to destroy Israel, a manifestly immoral outcome.[…] The insertion of an independent Palestinian state between Israel and Jordan would be a recipe for disaster.

  • What I Saw & Heard in Israel and Palestine
    What I Saw & Heard in Israel and Palestine I was in Israel for a month, which included six intensive days participating in the Partners for Progressive IsraeI Symposium, October 20-27. I have participated in the Symposium several times in the past. Our first meeting was with Yossi Beilin, the former MK, cabinet minister, Chairman of the Meretz party, who was the architect of the Oslo process and a prime mover in the Geneva Accord. In 1995, Beilin reached a historic understanding with Palestinian leader Abbas on a final status agreement, which served as a basis for the Clinton parameters. He was also a negotiator at the Taba talks. He has been at the business of peace for several decades. He was anecdotal, sharing choice tidbits about Netanyahu; but concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict, he was modest, settling for an interim agreement for now. Grafitti at Separation Wall, Kalandia We met with more than 30 people, from top Likud officials, to opinion makers, political activists, bloggers and those running NGO’s such as B’Tselem, Rabbis for Human Rights and Physicians for human Rights. We traveled to the West Bank, saw the settlements, and went to Hebron. We met with our Meretz friends: among them Naomi Chazan, Meretz head Zahava Gal-on, diplomat Ilan Baruch (a new recruit to Meretz who was a career diplomat); also with noted journalist Aluf Benn, blogger Noam Sheizaf and pollster Kalman Gaier. We met Dani Dayan, Chairman of the Yesha Council who argued against a two-state solution, as he wrote in the pages of the NY Times, that an independent Palestinian state between Israel and Jordan would be a “recipe for disaster,” a hotbed of extremism.
