Israelis, Palestinians should 'reboot relations': Absence of diplomatic route means 'perpetual battle'

Mark Owen is happy to welcome Yossi Mekelberg, Senior Consulting Fellow of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House. Can Israel proceed to outline its future primarily via safety and territorial management? Mekelberg challenges the notion that army operations, incursions and settlement enlargement can represent a sustainable political goal. He identifies a possible transition past the Netanyahu period as a possibility to rethink the connection between Israeli and Palestinian societies. His central argument is that the continuation of battle with out a political endgame dangers a state of perpetual confrontation.
