Israel needs foreign mediators
==============================
By Shlomo Ben-Ami
It appears that the Israeli aversion to international initiatives for solving
the conflict with the Arab world is inherent in us. The world, and in
particular Europe, is assumed to be hostile to Israel, and every
international conference is conceived of as an ambush in which Israel's
enemies will try to force it into an arrangement that is contradictory to its
existential interests.
This aversion is particularly difficult to understand in view of the fact
that Israel is sunk in a bloody conflict that has no solution, neither
diplomatic nor military. The battlefield - in Lebanon against Hezbollah and
in the Gaza Strip against Hamas - no longer makes it possible to gain easy
victories or a decisive advantage. In both cases, the governments enabled the
Israel Defense Forces to push forward to a victory but they were not able to
carry out the mission.
