Israel Is Resilient But Watchful -Yossi Klein Halevi
After a brutal decade, the Israeli public is resilient and sober.
This is not the time for far-reaching political initiatives. With the open question of whether Israel's peace with Egypt will survive the fall of Hosni Mubarak, Israelis are reassessing the wisdom of land-for-peace agreements with dictators. Israelis are asking a similar question about Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who is widely resented by Palestinians as corrupt and represents at best only part of his people.
Why negotiate a land for peace agreement with an unelected, one-party government?
