Israel, the US and the Middle East: Grave Scenario
Yossi Mekelberg, December 2002
The World Today, Volume 58, Number 12
More than two decades after the Camp David Peace Accords were signed between Israel and Egypt, former American President Jimmy Carter has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a striking reminder of both the central role American presidents and the US have played in striving to reach such agreements, and of the fundamentals for any future peace between Israel and its Arab neighbours. There is no reason to assume that these basic elements will alter dramatically. But the chances of peace are now remote and the threat of war - even a nuclear strike if Israel were under attack with weapons of mass destruction - has increased considerably.
