After Camp David: The Role of Automony Negotiations in Furthering Middle East Peace

Abstract

This paper explores the question: How will the current autonomy negotiations, based on the Camp David accords and Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty, and conducted by Ambassador Sol Linowitz, affect the future stability of the Middle East? Section I comprises a statement and analysis of various components related to the West Bank/Gaza autonomy talks. After a brief historical view of the role of previous US envoys to the Middle East--with specific focus on Eric Johnston, 1953, Robert Anderson, 1956, and Henry Kissinger, 1974-5, the section focuses on the Camp David accords and Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty and the implementation of these documents. Section II views the possible short-range and medium-range future geopolitical situation in the Middle East. It views the effects of events in Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Saudia Arabia that might hinder or precipitate a successful outcome of the autonomy negotiation. Section III draws conclusions and makes modest recommendations in light of the previous analysis.
