Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Burke Chair has prepared a new analysis of the overall pattern of regional threats that affect Israel's security interest, of which the peace talks are only part. It is clear from this briefing that Israel does face security risks in reaching a peace settlement with the Palestinians, and cannot totally disregard the possible threat from moderate Arab states, or from the conventional forces of long-standing enemies like Syria. At the same time, however, the security risks for Israel in pursuing the peace process are far smaller than the risks of not pursuing it. It is clear that the main direct threat to Israel now comes from non-state actors like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad; from Syrian use of proxies and asymmetric warfare, from Iran, and from the growth of extremism and terrorism in the region. It is also clear that these are the main threats to moderate Arab states, as well as Israel.
