Hope and Despair

Michael A. Horowitz tells the unfolding story of this decision: of tension between the hope ushered in by the normalisation agreements, and the enduring despair both Israelis and Palestinians feel about the waning prospects of peace. Rather than examining the past, Horowitz looks to Israel’s future―one marked by new opportunities, but also tremendous challenges, as the country tries to find its place in a region trying to find itself.
