From Israel's establishment as a state to the Egyptian-Israeli
peace treaty, this work analyzes the role of third-party mediators
of the Arab-Israeli dispute. What interests prompted the mediators
to undertake their efforts? What effect did their intervention have
on regional and global power struggles? Did the mediators actually
make any difference? In a thorough treatment of the struggle for a
negotiated peace, Saadia Touval answers these questions and tests
his answers against the existing theories of international
relations. Including a discussion of both United States and United
Nations attempts at mediation, and providing a detailed picture of
American-Israeli relations, he maintains that successful mediators
do not have to be impartial.
Drawing on official documents, memoirs, and other sources, this
book discusses the mediation efforts of Count Folke Bernadotte;
Ralph Bunche; the United Nations Palestine Conciliation Commission;
President Eisenhower's emissary, Robert Anderson; Gunnar Jarring;
the 1971 mission of the African heads of state; and Secretaries of
State William Rogers and Henry Kissinger. Finally the author
analyzes President Jimmy Carter's mediation, which led to the Camp
David accords and the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli peace
treaty.
Since 1948 various powers have sought to protect their own
interests by active assistance to one party or another in the
Arab-Israeli struggle. This book shows how those countries and
institutions that have attempted to mediate the conflict have also
acted out of self-interest.
