Anthony Cordesman, the CSIS Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy, had an op-ed published in the New York Times, "Help the Palestinians Help Us."
HAVING just returned from the Middle East, I find it hard to have much optimism about peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel sees Hamas’s control of Gaza as a situation it cannot do anything about, a weak and divided Palestinian Authority on the West Bank, increased arms smuggling and a growing threat from Israeli Arabs. Palestinians see a steady growth in Israeli settlements and restrictions, a weak Israeli government and faltering international assistance. And all sides seem to see Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s visits as an end-of-administration effort in résumé building.
