Sažetak
The author promotes the stand that a successful resolution of conflicts between Arabs and Jews started following the engagement of the United States, i.e. Henry Kissinger in the Middle-east peace process. Transforming the power balance in the Middle East to the advantage of the USA, Kissinger proved that the inclusion of the USA in the foreign policy can benefit the whole world. Middle-east "shuttle diplomacy" was exclusively based on Kissinger's personality, while he was an epitome of the US power and influence in the region. With his "shuttle diplomacy", Kissinger managed to broker the agreements (between Egypt and Israel; Israel and Syria) which led to the conclusion of the Egyptian Peace Agreement in 1979, Israeli-PLO Agreement in Oslo in 1993 and the Peace Agreement between Israel and Jordan in 1994.
