In this book a former United Nations Envoy offers an insider perspective on conflict management
and peace efforts during the three most recent failed peace initiatives and three wars in Gaza.
Robert Serry shares his reflections on walking the tight rope of diplomacy between Israel and
Palestine and his analysis of what has gone wrong and why a ¿one-state reality¿ may be around
the corner. Offering fresh thinking on how to preserve prospects for a two-state solution this
book examines the UN¿s uneasy history in the Arab-Israeli conflict since partition was proposed
in resolution 181 (1948) and provides a rare insight into the life of a United Nations Envoy in
today¿s Middle East.
