Professor Ely Karmon on the Iranian Deal

Dear friends and colleagues,

Please see my latest article  The Iran – Palestine Linkage as posted on ICT's website at:


Abstract:

"The controversial Geneva deal brought to the fore the linkage between Israel's peace negotiations with the Palestinians and Teheran's nuclear project.

If in the past U.S and European leaders claimed the lack of progress in the Israeli - Palestinian peace negotiations is the stumbling block in advancing the undoing of the Iranian nuclear project, recently it was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who warned that the best efforts to achieve peace “will come to naught if Iran achieves a nuclear bomb."

This article presents a historical overview of Teheran regime's involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which confirms that there is a linkage between Iran and Palestine: the more successful the strategy of strengthening PA's moderate leaders and advancing the peace negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel, the greater Iran's motivation to sabotage it through violence and terrorism.

The article offers some general recommendations how to transform the linkage into a positive one."


I would like to wish you all Happy New Year and Merry Holidays.
