Tel Aviv’s decision to ban two Arab-Israeli parties contesting next month’s election confirms that the radicalisation the world fears and may have to suffer in repetitions of the Mumbai, Twin Towers, London and Madrid atrocities has already begun. There is no reason either to disbelieve the Shin Bet head, Mr Yuval Diskin, who says that Hamas is using the crisis to liquidate Palestine Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party supporters, that is, moderates, in Gaza.
This should be an early charge on Mr Barack Obama when he is sworn in on Monday. He has already announced his determination to end the war in Iraq and make US foreign policy more than only a ‘war on terror’. To live down his predecessor’s disastrous legacy, he must also ensure that the 1967 Arab-Israel war is at last given burial, which means returning to their owners the conquered Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza. Only then can there be any hope of meeting the two conditions for peace — secure borders for Israel and a viable Palestinian state — that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown mentions.
