Israel in Isolation
Wakefield, Dan | February 16, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses Israel public's growing skepticism of any policy of dependence on foreign powers. Israel's diplomatic isolation in the world at large, as well as in the Middle East, has been solidifying ever since the Russian-sponsored Czech arms deal to Egypt and the refusal of the West to match it with defensive weapons for Israel. It has reached its most acute form in Israel's efforts to bargain in the United Nations for guarantees of permanent peace following the Sinai invasion. One of the great tasks that the new leaders of Israel saw as necessary for survival was the breaking down of barriers within its own Middle Eastern world: the establishment of permanent peace and normal relations with the Arab neighbors.
