Diplomacy’s lowest point: how the Israel-Gaza conflict was mishandled
Over the past two years there have been many versions of a "day after" plan for Gaza and many obstacles to overcome. George Mitchell, the great US advocate for the Northern Ireland peace process, described diplomacy as 700 days of failure and one day of success. In Gaza, tragically, there have been 730 days of failure and none of success. The destruction, the death toll, and the spillover of the conflict into other countries are monuments to the shame of diplomacy and to what remains of international law. Arguably, it is the profession's lowest point since 1939. Some will claim failure is inevitable, since this conflict is now so entrenched and resistant to compromise that it can only be settled at the barrel of the gun, through the repression or erasure of one side.
