Think Tank Analysis: The Middle East Conflict after the Gaza War

Roland Popp: The strategic effects of the Gaza War have been remarkably small. Israel’s strategy of isolating Hamas continues to focus on short-term conflict management and fails to open up new prospects for resolving the Middle East conflict.

While the Palestinians are striving to overcome their divisions, they will find it very difficult to formulate and implement a common strategy towards Israel. The US and the EU have also contributed to the convoluted political situation in the Middle East, but have so far not been able to agree on a new course in their relations with Hamas.
