Details how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has escalated from a popular uprising to an increasingly dangerous war. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is more than a local or regional dispute. Its ongoing and escalating nature increases the risk that the violence will spill over its present borders and contribute to both extremism and terrorism. While the Intifada from 1987 to 1993 was largely a popular uprising and a political struggle, the recent clash is a war with a steady escalation between conventional and unconventional forces. Noted Middle East expert Anthony Cordesman details this continuing struggle by explaining the issues at stake for each side, the various combatants, and the course of the war in its various stages. The author concludes that it is in the interest of all major powers, the international community, and the United Nations to press both sides to accept a realistic peace plan. This is published under the new Praeger Security International imprint. It addresses a key issue in international politics. It is written by a noted expert on the contemporary Middle East.
