THE CONTINUING HOPE FOR PEACE: THE QUARTET AND THE ""ROAD MAP""; NOTESThe 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. 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.||Noted Middle East expert AnAl-Aqsa Intifada, 2000-2005Arab-Israeli conflictAl-Aqsa Intifada, 2000-2005.Arab-Israeli conflict.956.9405/4Cordesman Anthony H567761Moravitz Jennifer1560035MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780816103321The Israeli-Palestinian war3825672UNINA
