Israel Faces No-Win Strain Over West Bank Autonomy Pact
The Foreign Affairs and Security Committee analysis notes a May 26 test date for an autonomy plan in the West Bank and Gaza with U S help. It cites Israeli fears of losing footholds, Egyptian backing, and U S support for Egypt as a likely outcome. Israeli costs include 500 million in oil imports and inflation, with welfare and education cuts to cover the bill. Dayan reframes the treaty as yielding Arab recognition and potential state-building opportunities.
