How to Maintain a Successful Counterterror Campaign While Negotiating for Peace
Abstract
The State of Israel is fighting terrorism which has been trying to undermine the foundations of its sovereignty since its establishment in 1948. Over the years, Israel tried to make peace with its enemies while continuing to fight simultaneously for independence. The Israeli - Palestinian conflict is perhaps the most intensive struggle of all. In recent years, a dialogue process began between the parties. This dialogue was supposed to set the permanent situation between the parties. Since then, the first and second intifada broke out and negotiations between the parties continued while the I.D.F conducting its counter-terrorism campaign. The purpose of this essay is to examine the role of the military and the strategy that is required to conduct a counter-terrorism campaign while negotiating peace. The essay will examine the historical processes, key events and milestones that have affected negotiations from a military perspective; it will specify the dilemmas facing military leaders; and analyze the special military- political relationship. All in order to examine their efficiency and offer an alternative strategy that supports and serves the Israeli national policy.
