31. The Real Test for the Palestinian Reconciliation is Disarming Hamas

Author:
Yaakov Amidror
Publication Date:

Content Type:
Working Paper
Institution:
Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS)
Abstract:
A Fatah-Hamas reconciliation is promising for the Palestinian people, but it cannot come at Israel’s expense. If the Palestinian Authority is unable to impose the terms of the deal on the Islamic terrorist group, it would make it clear the deal is bogus.
Topic:
Arms Control and Proliferation, Military Strategy, Territorial Disputes, Conflict, and Palestinian Authority
Political Geography:
Middle East, Israel, and Palestine

Working Paper
Institution:
Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS)
Abstract:
A few seemingly unrelated incidents that took place across the Middle East this week all seem to point out that much of the regional unrest can be traced back to Iran, which is backing Shiite forces from Pakistan to Syria. That is unlikely to change.

Working Paper
Institution:
Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS)
Abstract:
The increasing rocket fire from Gaza at Israel reflects a tragic reality in which neither Israel nor the Palestinians want a confrontation, but both sides may be helpless to stop it. Meanwhile, the Islamic world will not really support the Palestinians.
