Neither vertical nor horizontal: Kissinger and Israeli-Jordanian disengagement mediation. Issue 5 (14th October 2021) - Ben-Ephraim, Shaiel
Abstract: Israeli-Jordanian disengagement talks saw Israel promote its plan of West Bank 'Jordanization', to curtail Palestinian self-determination. This failed. However, it served as the blueprint for future failed autonomy schemes. The pragmatic approach taken by Kissinger in these negotiations, also counters narratives portraying Kissinger as dogmatically opposed to Palestinian self-determination.
