For a long time the understanding of the Palestinian question has
been dominated by the views offered by the Arab governments on the
Israeli establishment. But any close examination of the policies of
the Arab regimes would reveal that they have done very little to
alleviate the plight of the Palestinians. Since the defeat of the
Arab regime in June 1967, an increasing number of Arab scholars and
intellectuals have been seriously and independently involved in
reassessing the political and social conditions of their societies.
This book, first published in 1979, is part of that more general
attempt to discover the deep-rooted causes of defeat and the
general state of socio-economic underdevelopment of the Arab
region. The central theme of the four essays in this study pertains
to the fluctuating relationship between the Arab regimes and the
Palestinian Resistance Movement. It is within this context that the
first essay examines the various factors which shaped the
relationship at different intervals. The second then goes on to
present a case study of how the contradictions between the Arab
regimes and the Resistance Movement operate in a crisis situation
and reach the level of an armed confrontation. The third essay
examines the prospects for peace and war in the region in the light
of the political conditions given before Sadat's visit to Israel.
And finally the fourth essay is concerned with Sadat's peace
initiative and its consequences on the relations between Egypt and
the Palestinian Resistance Movement.
