Description
Ehud Eilam examines the strategy of containment in the Middle East as it is currently pursued. For the United States, containment is a way to avoid war with Iran and thwart its nuclear weapons program. In other cases, containment has been used by Israel to prevent confrontations with Palestinians in both Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Containment has also been employed by countries such as Egypt, which seeks to contain economic hardships and ISIS primarily in the Sinai Peninsula. Eilam provides important insights into the Middle East's perennially fluid and volatile political environment, offering timely analyses that will be of interest to those seeking a deeper understanding of the region.
