THE MIDDLE-EAST CONFLICT

In: INTERNATIONAL SPECTATOR, Band 10, Heft 2, S. 103-110

Abstract

THE MID-EAST CRISIS BEARS A THREEFOLD ASPECT: THE CONFRONTATION OF THE SUPERPOWERS, THE ENERGY CRISIS AND THE ARAB-ISREAL CONFLICT. THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM IS THE THIRD ONE, AND NO SOLUTION CAN BE ENVISAGED WITHOUT A SETTLEMENT OF THE DALESTINIAN QUESTION. THIS LATTER IS SEEN EITHER AS A PROBLEM OF RIGHTS OR AS ONE OF IDENTITY. IN ANY CASE THE CONFLICT CANNOT END WITHOUT AN AGREEMENT WITH USSR.
