In: Rivista di studi politici internazionali: RSPI, Band 68, Heft 3, S. 415-421

Abstract

In the aftermath of the triumphant victory of Ariel Sharon, the Israeli nationalist rightist-center LICUD party absorbed the great majority of the rival leftist-center MAARACH party, led by Shimon Perez. The merging of the parties & reconciliation of these adversaries ruling jointly in the name of national unity are explored. Topics include the legacy of Prime Minister Ehud Barak, problems with the Oslo Peace Accords, Peres's role in explaining Sharon's policies in the US & Europe, political errors made by both Peres & Sharon, & the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
