It is important for Israel’s leaders to recognize clearly that their country’s central conflict is with the Palestinians, not with the Arab states (or Iran).
About the ‘Israel–Palestine: Beyond the Stalemate’ project
The ‘Israel–Palestine: Beyond the Stalemate’ project aims to create a platform for constructive and frank dialogue among Israelis and Palestinians and other stakeholders. Through consultation with leading thinkers and practitioners on the conflict, Chatham House research is analysing developments in Israel, among the Palestinians and in the regional and international contexts, to establish what new possibilities might exist for political progress. The project seeks not only to deal with the shape of a lasting settlement of the conflict but also to examine ways of promoting better Israeli–Palestinian relations in the period leading up to such a settlement.
