It is clear that last week’s Sharm El-Sheikh summit has joined the long list of contentious issues that predictably stir controversy, whether within our Middle Eastern region or in the broader regional environment and the international community. Each side interprets developments based on its own considerations. One must remember that there has never been a shared diagnosis and thus no shared cure.
Even within the Israeli camp, there are several “Israels” with varying degrees of extremism and hubris. One of them is represented by Benjamin Netanyahu, with his lack of principle, opportunism and constant evasion of genuine political solutions to the conflict.
Dealing with this man and what he represents creates both domestic and foreign challenges. The web of interests he has cultivated over a long period, as well as the collapse of the moderate Israeli alternatives and the unlimited, unconditional American support he has received, have all allowed him to maintain control.
On the Palestinian side, there is undoubtedly a real problem as well: political paralysis, a crisis of will, organizational shortcomings and declining local credibility.
