    20 Years After Death, Rabin's Leadership Unmatched

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, October 24, 2015

    Amidst the breakdown of their negotiations with the Palestinians and a wave of terrorist attacks rolling across the country, Israelis will gather on the evening of October 31 in Tel Aviv to honor the memory of Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated 20 years ago. And they will continue to wrestle with the meaning for Israel’s future of his life and tragic death. 

    Why Israeli Rule Of Golan Is Lawful-- And Wise

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, February 19, 2016

    In exercising its right of self-defense in the Six Day War, Israel seized from Syria the Golan Heights, a strategically important plateau that looms over northeastern Israel, rising sharply from the eastern bank of the Sea of Galilee to a height of more than 3,000 feet. Since June 1967 a powerful consensus has prevailed in the international community, including the United States, that the Golan is occupied territory.

    Hoover Institution: Remarks By General Mattis On State Of Middle East

    Research | Articles | by Hoover Institution
    Sunday, February 21, 2016

    On Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 5:00pm ET, General James Mattis and Admiral Gary Roughead will participate in a panel discussion entitled: "2016: International Security Challenges and U.S. Readiness." The discussion, moderated by Hoover Senior Fellow Peter Berkowitz, will analyze international security challenges in the year ahead, including the Middle East and Indo-Pacific regions, and how the United States is prepared to deal with them.

    Foreign Policy Fueled By Fantasy

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, April 5, 2016

    In an extensive interview with Barack Obama in the April issue of The Atlantic, journalist Jeffrey Goldberg recounts a rebuke that the president delivered to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli leader had been explaining “the dangers of the brutal region in which he lives,” when Obama cut in.

    Civics Textbook Wars: Israeli Right Strikes Back

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, June 27, 2016

    A few years ago on a lazy Friday afternoon, my friend Ronit Vardi—a veteran journalist and longtime resident of this frenetic city perched between the Mediterranean and the Middle East—looked askance when I told her that I was headed to Jerusalem to teach a seminar on Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.

    U.S. Must Build On Short-Term Steps In Israeli Peace Effort

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, March 28, 2017

    President Donald Trump’s penchant for entwining reckless utterances and sound pronouncements was on vivid display at his joint White House press conference last month with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It is still too early to determine which will predominate in administration policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

    Why Legal Avenues To Mideast Peace Are Misguided

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, September 13, 2017

    Over the summer, Trump administration officials Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner visited Israel and the Palestinian Authority to renew efforts to resolve the conflict over the West Bank—as the international community and the Israeli left refer to the land Israel seized in fending off Jordan’s attack in the Six Day War. 

    The Untold Story Of Israeli Innovation

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, March 13, 2018

    Even beyond its extraordinary success in launching high-tech companies chronicled nine years ago in the best-selling “Start-up Nation,” Israel is an innovation capital of the world. But the inspiring story of its inventors and entrepreneurs and their discoveries, devices, and services that have benefited the Jewish state and people around the globe has not been fully told. 

    Achieve More For Israel And Palestinians By Seeking Less

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, March 22, 2018

    Despite no shortage of foreign policy challenges, President Trump appears intent — like the last three occupants of the Oval Office — on mediating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His administration has proceeded with laudable circumspection, insisting that the aim is not to impose a settlement but to assist the sides in reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement. By seeking still less than that, Trump may be able to achieve much more than his predecessors.

    Israel Can Ease Gaza Tensions, But So Must The U.N.

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, June 7, 2018

    In mid-May, freelance journalist Ahmed Abu Artema, an organizer of "Gaza’s Great Return March," emphasized in a New York Times op-ed the peaceful intentions of a movement that has sparked violence since late-March and led to dozens of Palestinians killed and thousands injured by Israel in defense of its border.

    Israel Wrestles With Nationalism And Freedom

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, August 28, 2018

    In mid-July, by a vote of 62-55, with two abstentions, the Knesset passed the Basic Law on Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People. The legislation — Basic Laws in Israel enjoy constitutional status although only a simple parliamentary majority is needed to pass or repeal them — reaffirmed principles set forth in the country’s May 1948 Declaration of Independence.

    Crafting A Constructive Gaza Policy

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, December 26, 2018

    “The situation for 1.5 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is worse now than it has ever been since the start of the Israeli military occupation in 1967,” according to “The Gaza Strip: A Humanitarian Implosion.” The report, published by a coalition of non-government organizations, describes an alarming shortage of humanitarian and commercial supplies in Gaza. Drinking water and electricity fall well below demand. Sewage flows into the Mediterranean Sea. With unemployment around 40 percent, the economy is collapsing.

    Rethinking Democracy Promotion And Nationalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, March 2, 2019

    The first decade of the 21st century called into question the United States’ capacity to advance freedom and democracy abroad. The century’s second decade has provoked controversy about the relation between nationalism and liberal democracy. Greater attention to the preconditions for and impact of freedom and democracy, and to the persistence and varieties of nationalism, would contribute to the formulation of a foreign policy for the third decade of the 21st century that would be more suitable to U.S. interests and principles.

    Conserving International Order

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, March 9, 2019

    In the United States, conservatism and liberalism — often to the consternation of conservatives and liberals — are ineluctably intertwined. This turns out to be true of foreign affairs as well as of domestic affairs. Attention to this entwinement helps bring into focus the key question concerning the contemporary dispute about the post-World War II international order and the United States’ role in maintaining it: What policies best advance America’s interest in conserving freedom?

    A Usurpation of National Sovereignty

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, February 10, 2010

    The controversy sparked by the Sept. 15, 2009, publication of the Report of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, otherwise known as the Goldstone Report, may appear to exclusively concern the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. . . .

    Monday, February 16, 2009

    The cover of the January 15-22 issue of Time Out Tel Aviv--a free weekly rundown of culture, dining, and night life--offers a juxtaposition at once incongruous and in keeping with the nation's mood and the harsh logic of its situation...
