This is a cover story of n the current situation in Mideast written by Daniel Klaidman.
War is diplomacy in the Middle East. It is still true today as Israel continues its attack on Hamas in Gaza, that were prompted by Hamas missile strikes on Israel. On Dec. 27 2008, Israeli ground forces began to move in Gaza. This military action was not just a reaction but also a calculation. Olmert, the prime minister of Israel, first wants to stop missiles which Hamas was sending into Israel and to force to renewal of the ceasefire. Second he wants to crush Hamas completely.
Looking for ”peace process” has been failed many times. There are many difficult details to be worked out: the exact border of a two-state compromise; the fate of Palestinian refugees; the future of Jerusalem. President Barack Obama and his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, will face these challenges.
