A Second Term Obama Administration and the Middle East

David Makovsky
December 16, 2012
Paper No. 193

The changes in the region will force the Obama administration to make some difficult decisions on how to act regarding Egypt, Syria, the Palestinians, and Iran. Alarmist scenarios that a second term Obama administration will abandon Israel are unwarranted.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Its True Intentions Towards Israel

Dr. Liad Porat
December 10, 2012
Paper No. 192

The Brotherhood sees Israel as a strategic threat and has aggressively lobbied Morsi to strengthen Egyptian military presence in Sinai. The anti-Israel rhetoric emanating from senior Brotherhood leaders must be taken seriously.

Israel’s Dilemma in Gaza

Prof. Shmuel Sandler
December 6, 2012
Paper No. 191

Israel's reluctance to inflict a decisive defeat of Hamas in Operation Pillar of Defense indicates its desire for a new arrangement for the Gaza Strip. A preferred outcome would be an Egyptian role in Gaza, providing Israel with a real government with whom it could negotiate.

Building in Jerusalem: A Strategic Imperative

Prof. Efraim Inbar
December 5, 2012
Paper No. 190

Israel must follow up on its recent declaration to build in and around Jerusalem, particularly in Area E1, which connects the capital to the settlement of Maaleh Adumim. Creating continuous Jewish settlement in that area is necessary to enable Israel to have secure access to the strategic Jordan Valley.

Operation Pillar of Defense: An Initial Assessment

Prof. Eitan Shamir
December 4, 2012
Paper No. 189

The operation also proved Israel's determination to act forcefully in the post "Arab Spring" environment. However, the lack of a ground offensive allowed Hamas to craft a victory narrative and gave it the potential to re-arm.

The Buddhist-Muslim Violence in Myanmar: A Threat to Southeast Asia

Dr. Micha’el Tanchum
November 28, 2012
Paper No. 188

Myanmar's policies towards its minority Rohingya Muslims have sparked a rise in Islamist agitation against Buddhists in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Morsi’s Dictatorship and the Gaza Ceasefire

Prof. Hillel Frisch
November 27, 2012
Paper No. 187

Egyptian President Morsi is proving to be a dictator in the footsteps of his predecessor Hosni Mubarak.

Operation Pillar of Defense: In Support of a Ground Offensive

Prof. Efraim Inbar
November 19, 2012
Paper No. 186

A strong Israeli response to Hamas rocket attacks is necessary to ensure Israel's ability to stand against the rising tide of Islamist militancy.

Brothers in Arms: Would Hizballah and Hamas Join Iran in a War Against Israel?

Dr. Ehud Eilam
October 23, 2012
Paper No. 185

There is a prevalent view that in the event of an Israeli strike on Iran, Tehran’s proxies in Lebanon and Gaza – Hizballah and Hamas – would join in retaliation against Israel. A more likely scenario, however, is that those groups’ participation will be limited at best.

Sunni Sectarianism and the Re-emergence of Jihadism in Indonesia

Dr. Micha’el Tanchum
October 16, 2012
Paper No. 184

Recent events in Indonesia raise concern that the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation may be taking a turn toward hardline Islamism. The future of Indonesia’s tolerant Islam is being reassessed.
