Containment in the Middle East is expressed in many ways. The
United States and Israel strive to contain Iran, including its
nuclear project. However there were disputes between the United
States and Israel about how to do that, particularly in regard to
the military option. It seems that the United States managed both
to contain Israel so the latter will not bomb Iran and to contain
Iran's nuclear project, to a certain degree. This book discuss
containment in the Middle East using recent examples, including the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Journalist and Middle-East scholar
Ehud Eilam provides an overarching look at containment, providing
important and timely insight on the extremely fluid political
situation in the Middle East. Containment serves several purposes.
For both Israel and the Palestinian Authority it has been an
alternative to negotiations, until the two sides can agree / force
the other to restart the talks. For the United States it was a way
to avoid a war, in dealing with Iran's nuclear program. Israel also
has been trying to prevent a confrontation in the Gaza Strip by
relying on containment, which often worked. This approach, a result
of the policy of both sides, has caused suffering to the people
living in the Gaza Strip. In other cases containment was meant to
weaken the foe without starting a war, as Israel did by bombing
shipments of weapons to Hezbollah. Containment was also part of a
war, like in suppressing insurgents in Egypt and Syria, which cost
the population there dearly, in particular in Syria. This approach
was a compromise due to lack of ability to defeat the enemy yet in
Syria eventually Assad managed to basically win. Middle East
containment served Israel, the United States, and others, but was
often also used against those states.
