Intifada

Más información sobre el libro

The Intifada marked a pivotal moment in the Israeli-Arab conflict, and this book presents its events for the first time in a focused manner, drawing on previously unpublished information. The authors adopt an objective perspective, devoid of sentimentality and political bias, to explore the emergence of a popular civil uprising against Israel, which caught the nation and its intelligence services off guard, alongside the established military and anti-terror fronts. While serious challenges loom, the authors also highlight potential opportunities for positive change, suggesting that the Intifada could pave the way for dialogue rather than tragedy. They offer practical proposals for achieving a fair settlement and delve into critical questions: What triggered the outbreak? Why was it unexpected? What were its developments? Who are the influential figures in the "joint headquarters"? What dynamics are at play within the IDF and the Palestinian camp? In a manner reminiscent of their previous work, the authors reveal the complexities of the Intifada, challenging conventions and embracing criticism. The book is rich with insights from Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian, and American sources, as well as numerous internal documents, making it a vital resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the current landscape.
