The New Middle East

The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs offers a vision of the future for the Middle East. He sees a reconstructed region free of past conflicts, set to take its place in a new era - one that will not tolerate backwardness or ignorance - and a social and economic revival fuelled by the billions of dollars wasted for decades on defence. He also offers an analysis of how peace can be achieved, seeking nothing short of an historic new chapter between two peoples: an end to 100 years of hostility and a beginning of 100 years of peace and understanding.
