    Win-Win Warfare in Gaza
    Jonathan Shimshoni, Ariel (Eli) Levite December 22, 2012 Haaretz

    Is the Peace Process Over?
    Marwan Muasher December 19, 2012 عربي

    President Bush's Visit to the Middle East
    Amr Hamzawy January 9, 2008 BBC Radio Scotland

    Carnegie's Amr Hamzawy appeared on BBC Radio Scotland to discuss President Bush's visit to the Middle East. The poor domestic situation in Israel and Palestine make significant diplomatic gains unrealistic, argued Hamzawy. Mr. Bush is more likely to make progress on his Iran agenda—pulling Gulf countries closer to the American perception of Iran as the main threat to Western and Arab interests.
