Description

THE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT OF February 8, 2005, between Israel and the Palestinians, followed by Israel's momentous withdrawal from Gaza, completed on September 12, has since substantially reduced the level of violence. It has failed, however, to produce the hoped-for momentum that would propel the peace process forward. The two parties remain stuck, unable to overcome the repercussions of the second Intifadah (the Palestinian uprising against Israel begun in 2000) that has left the Israelis deeply scarred psychologically and has created an unruly situation in the Palestinian territories. This explains to a large degree why, since the Gaza withdrawal, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, unable to agree on an agenda that deals with their respective priorities, haven't yet commenced formal talks. If one speaks with Israeli and Palestinian officials and academics and observes the political and social combustion within both societies, as I have been doing, it becomes impossible to escape the fact that Israelis' and Palestinians' misconstrued perceptions of each other's positions have led them to draw incompatible conclusions about the conditions they face. Thus, for the Israelis, there is a growing sense of resignation over a Palestinian reality they cannot change, an attitude that promotes the ideas of further unilateral disengagement, while, for mainstream Palestinians, there is bewilderment over the inability of Israelis to grasp the historic opportunity to peacefully and permanently end their decades-old violent conflict. These perceptions obviously aggravate the Israeli-Palestinian relationship, affecting the policies of both sides in fundamental ways and hindering any progress. We need to examine, therefore, some of the specific issues that have created this divide and then look at possible solutions.
