Stabilizing Gaza-Israel Relations: What Would It Take?
نویسندگان
چکیده
On August 5, 2014, after 29 days of fighting, Israel and Hamas accepted an Egyptian proposal for a 72-hour unconditional cease-fire. The cease-fire was meant to provide a calmer environment for direct and indirect talks on stabilizing the relations between Israel and Gaza. Fire was renewed after the agreed three days of quiet did not produce a breakthrough but another ceasefire went into effect on the morning of August 11, allowing the renewal of negotiations in Cairo on the terms of a broader and more enduring understanding. This fluid phase in the process might continue for some time before such an understanding is reached. This Brief is an attempt to sketch the basic requirements for transforming any cease-fire the parties may agree on to more stable relations between Gaza and Israel, and between Israelis and Palestinians more broadly.
