New book outlines Israeli policy options on Palestine

25 April 2005

When deciding the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations, Israelis disagree, not only on their preferred solution to the conflict, but also on the values and goals underlying those preferences and on their assessments of what is ultimately feasible.

In a new book published by Chatham House entitled Israel and the Palestinians: Israeli Policy Options, these differences are systematically compared and contrasted in an effort to guide the reader past the media headlines and towards a greater understanding of what really drives Israeli policy debates.

The book is jointly edited by Rosemary Hollis, Director of Research and formerly Head of the Middle East Programme at Chatham House and Mark A. Heller, Director of Research at the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, Tel Aviv University.

The five policy options explored are:

Negotiating a permanent status agreement, David Kimche

Preserve the land, Israel Harel

Interim arrangements and conflict management, Uzi Arad

International intervention for conflict management and resolution, Joel Peters and Orit Gal

Unilateral disengagement, Dan Schueftan

The book will be launched at Chatham House on 9 May

The editors will be available for interview on the day of the launch. For enquiries and interview requests contact:
