The Camp David Accords: A Model for a Syrian/Israeli Peace Agreement.

Abstract

This paper examines the Camp David Accords as a model for a Syrian/Israeli peace agreement and the potential role of the United States in the peace process between Syria and Israel. Using the Camp David Accords as a successful model for American diplomacy in Middle East peace processes, it examines the principles that underpinned the Camp David Accords for their application to the current Israeli-Syrian peace process. The role of American political, economic and military support in the Camp David Accords is explored with a vision of how that model could be applied to the current situation between Israel and Syria. It includes an examination of the conditions under which United States forces could be successfully employed in the Golan Heights overseeing and implementing a Syrian-Israeli peace agreement. Using the paradigm of the Camp David Accords as an example of the successful use of US elements of national power, it pursues the potential for the United States to promote confidence and security between the two countries and improve the overall chance of success in the process.
