United States--Israel Relations
The accepted approach to American-Israeli relations during Eisenhower's presidency (1953-1957) holds that Eisenhower was aloof and distant toward Israel. Yet, Eisenhower's policies toward Israel during those years were nuanced and sophisticated, entwining interests and ideals. With the onset of the Cold War, Eisenhower aimed to preserve and increase American influence in the Middle East in a way that would not put Israel at risk, but would respond to concerns voiced at home about his policies toward Israel and the surrounding nations. Furthermore, the administration's approach was more continuous with Truman's than Eisenhower and Dulles let on, as evidenced by their policy of \"friendly impartiality\" toward Israel, attentiveness to Israel's military and economic needs, and sensitivity to the views of American Jewry.

'Talking to the Enemy': Clandestine and Public Encounters for Peace between Israel and Syria (1948–2023)
Israeli-Syrian relations have often been characterized by hostility and violence. Despite these periods of animosity, there were genuine opportunities for peace between them. However, these opportunities were not realized for various reasons. This article explores the failed attempts to engage in talks and potentially reach a peace agreement. The failures appear to stem from the personalities and decision-making styles of the leaders, as well as specific historical circumstances unique to each period. Key factors contributing to the failures include the significant gap between the two sides in terms of proposed solutions, a lack of leadership legitimacy, mutual distrust between leaders and societies, and a deep-seated sense of enmity that fostered animosity within each society, making it difficult for leaders to act contrary to prevailing negative perceptions.
