Violence Poses a Threat to Boosting Palestinian Quality of Life
(Wall Street Journal) Dov Lieber - Terrorist attacks on civilians are testing Israel's U.S.-backed policy of trying to improve Palestinian quality of life. Four attacks against civilians in different cities in central and southern Israel have left 14 victims dead. While Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have been moribund for almost a decade, Israel is seeking to manage the century-old conflict with the Palestinians through trust-building and economic measures. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has warned Palestinians that the attacks threaten Israel's efforts to improve their quality of life, especially over Ramadan.
