The Search for Peace in the Arab-Israeli Conflict

Finding the way to peace in the Middle East continues to be one of the great challenges of international diplomacy. This volume provides an authoritative annotated overview of attempts to make peace in the region, including all relevant documents related to the Arab-Israeli conflict over the past century since the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, and a full set of accompanying maps specially made for this edition. It collects both formal peace agreements and informal peace proposals. It provides both regional and domestic documents. The papers compiled here show that many brave attempts have been made over the decades to bring an end to the conflicts in the Middle East. They serve as not only comprehensive records and reference materials for students and scholars, but also as tools for new policymakers to learn from the past to improve the chance of success, step by step on the path to peace.
