The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Strategies and Actors

Dean Savić ; Internal Affairs Ministry, Republic of Croatia

Abstract

Due to a number of open political and other issues, conflicts in the Middle East have persisted for over a half of the century. There are slightest chances that the belligerent parties will reach a compromise satisfying their opposed interests in the near future. Their opposing strategies corroborate this conclusion as well the so-far inefficient involvement of international community in mediating the solution of the Palestinian question. The analysis of the role of significant international actors and of belligerents' strategies, in the light of persisting unsolved demographic, social, economic, territorial and other interests, leads to a conclusion that it is questionable whether the belligerent parties will be able to bring the conflict to an end without a decisive engagement of the USA and equal share of pressure on both parties.
