Israel and Palestine have being having vicious conflicts for decades. On November 27, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert agreed to officially engage in a peace process negotiation for the first time in seven years. Their decision came after the US President George Bush announced a preliminary agreement between the two sides at a conference in Annapolis. The Middle East leaders of the two long-lasting opposing countries are due to meet again at the White House on December 12 in order to continue with the peace process.
Great. It sounds like a good start. However, one has got to keep in mind that this is not the first time that an attempt is made to stop the endless conflicts in these respective countries. And although the US is standing in the gap acting like a referee, is there hope? Knowing that for years Israel has been backed up by the US in its every move; in fact, just like a loyal big brother would do to his little one. Then, good luck to Palestine. So really, the question is not will this peace process work this time, but what will be done differently to see a radical change settling in these two nations?
