Wer die historischen Wurzeln und komplexen Dynamiken des Nahostkonflikts – von der Gründung Israels über die Abraham-Abkommen und den Terrorangriff der Hamas am 7.

The narrative delves into the complexities of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the evolving peace process, incorporating significant recent events such as the Abraham Accords, the differing policies of the Trump and Biden administrations, and the impact of the Syrian civil war.

The Middle East Contemporary Survey (MECS) serves as a definitive annual record of political developments in the Middle East, with Volume XI focusing on the significant events and trends of 1987. Established in 1977, this volume is recognized for its comprehensive analysis and serves as a crucial reference for understanding the region's political landscape during that year.

The Syrian crisis is evolving, with the full-scale civil war seemingly concluding, allowing for a more reflective examination of the situation. This concise analysis explores several critical questions: How did peaceful protests in Southern Syria escalate into a violent civil war? Why has the political opposition to Bashar al-Assad remained fragmented and ineffective? What led to radical Jihadi Islamists dominating the military opposition? How did the conflict become a focal point in the Saudi-Iranian rivalry? What accounts for the West's ambivalent stance toward the rebellion? Additionally, it examines the evolution of U.S. policy under the Obama administration and the reluctance of both Obama and Trump to invest heavily in the conflict. The status quo's stability is questioned, considering the potential for renewed violence in different forms. According to Rabinovitch, while the Syrian regime and its allies, including Russia and Iran, have emerged as victors, this victory is limited. Assad controls only about 60 percent of the territory and relies heavily on Iran and Russia, effectively making Syria a vassal state. This dependency suggests that the country will remain in crisis, despite the cessation of full-scale civil war. In the concluding chapter, policy recommendations for the U.S. are presented.

Over the past century, Syria has played a pivotal role in Middle Eastern affairs, serving as the birthplace of Arab nationalism and a focal point of colonial and regional ambitions. This paperback edition offers fresh insights into Syria's recent history and current political landscape. Author Itamar Rabinovich brings a unique perspective, having spent 35 years studying Syria through diplomatic archives and various sources. His experience as Yitzhak Rabin's chief negotiator with Syria and Israel's ambassador to Washington positions him as a key participant in the events discussed. This expanded edition features a new introduction and two additional chapters on the Israeli-Syrian-American peace negotiations and Israel's perspective on the Syrian uprising. The collection of 23 essays spans from the eve of World War I to the tensions between the Bush Administration and Bashar al-Asad. The essays explore three main themes: the evolution of the Syrian state, the conflict between differing political identities within Syria, and foreign policy issues, particularly regarding the Syrian-Israeli conflict and peace process. These themes are traced from their origins through the 20th century to contemporary times.

In The Lingering Conflict, Itamar Rabinovich, a former chief negotiator for Israel, offers authoritative insights into the prospects for peace in the Middle East. He provides a detailed insider account of the peace processes from 1992 to 1996, alongside a candid analysis of the disappointing developments since then. Drawing from his experiences as a negotiator and Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Rabinovich presents a valuable perspective on key players like Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu, illuminating the complex history of Arab-Israeli relations. The book assesses both the past and current state of affairs in the region while exploring the prospects for a peaceful future. Rabinovich addresses the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians as a struggle between two national movements over the same land, while also examining the broader political, cultural, and religious tensions between the Jewish state and Arab nationalism. He contextualizes the region's challenges within an international framework, analyzing America's evolving role and its diplomatic efforts. Building on his previous work on Middle Eastern geopolitics, he updates the Arab-Israeli conflict and considers the impact of recent social and political upheavals, including the Arab Spring and the responses of authoritarian regimes, on regional dynamics.

The war for Lebanon -- a conflict of domestic and external forces seeking to shape and control the Lebanese entity -- began long before 1970 and unfortunately did not end in 1983. But these years, the focus of this book, form a particularly significant phase in the history of both Lebanon and its immediate environment. The events of this period unfolded through 4 distinct stages: the collapse of the Lebanese political system between 1970 and 1975; the civil war of 1975-76; the lingering crisis of the years 1976-82; and the war of 1982. This book primarily explores the interplay between Lebanon's domestic politics and developments in the larger Middle East.
