Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is aimed at politicians, diplomats, policymakers, scholars, journalists, and informed readers seeking to understand why peace efforts have repeatedly failed-and how true reconciliation remains possible. Based on over one hundred interviews with Middle-Eastern, European, and American leaders, alongside extensive archival research, the book offers rare insight into the dynamics of diplomacy. It reveals how trust, fairness, and political courage are vital for peace. By analysing pivotal moments-from Oslo to Camp David and the Abbas-Olmert talks, it identifies recurring mistakes and proposes strategies to foster mutual recognition and lasting coexistence. Both authoritative and accessible, the book blends history, law, ethics, and international relations into a practical roadmap for future peace efforts. Its interdisciplinary approach and use of primary sources make it both authoritative and engaging. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding of the conflict and the tools needed to help resolve it.

In Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Raphael Cohen-Almagor meticulously examines the underlying causes of the numerous failures surrounding efforts to resolve this enduring conflict. Drawing upon an extensive array of interviews with key figures who were 'in or around the room' during negotiation, mediation and facilitation efforts, he offers fresh insights that inform his vision for a viable framework to achieve a just and lasting peace. By integrating a highly diverse spectrum of perspectives, Professor Cohen-Almagor exemplifies his commitment to the Rawlsian veil of ignorance – an analytical approach he passionately advocates for in the quest for a just and sustainable resolution. This outstanding book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deep understanding of the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the potential pathways to peace.'
