A Generation of Peace in the Sinai

Abstract

Israel has faced persistent conflict from multiple external threats since its inception as a nation. Working collectively and over time, these external threats have overtly and covertly focused on isolating, weakening, and destroying the Israeli state. For a significant period of time, one of the major threats poised against Israel came from the nation of Egypt. Why is it that there now seems to be a sustained peace between the governments of Egypt and Israel? This project will prove that the enduring need for peacekeeping initiatives between these two nations is a valid strategic security requirement for the United States. The project also will examine if this model of peaceful coexistence is a strategy template for peacekeeping considerations with regard to Israel's other contested borders, which would further benefit the United States, if not the whole global community.
