Abstract

This article offers a response to Alon Ben‐Meir's (2022) proposal for an Israeli‐Palestinian‐Jordanian Confederation from the perspective of a former Israeli diplomat whose roles included Director General of the Foreign Ministry of Israel and Israel's ambassador to South Africa. A long‐time champion of a campaign to promote the recognition of a Palestinian state by European governments, in this piece Ambassador (ret.) Dr. Liel unpacks his personal and professional reasoning as to why he remains wary and hesitant of confederative solutions even if, on the face of it, they may be practically attainable. Este artículo ofrece una respuesta a la propuesta de Alon Ben‐Meir (2022) para una Confederación Israelí‐Palestina‐Jordana desde la perspectiva de un exdiplomático israelí cuyos roles incluyeron el de Director General del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Israel y el de embajador de Israel en Sudáfrica. Campeón desde hace mucho tiempo de una campaña para promover el reconocimiento de un estado palestino por parte de los gobiernos europeos, en este artículo, el Embajador (retirado) Dr. Liel explica su razonamiento personal y profesional sobre por qué sigue siendo cauteloso y vacilante ante las soluciones confederativas, incluso si, a primera vista, pueden ser prácticamente alcanzables. 本文从以色列外交部总干事和以色列驻南非大使等前以色列外交官的角度,对Alon Ben‐Meir (2022) 提议的以色列‐巴勒斯坦‐约旦联盟作出回应。作为一名促进欧洲政府承认巴勒斯坦国的长期运动发起者,在本文中,已退休大使Liel博士分析了他的个人推理和专业推理,解释了他为何仍然对联盟解决方案保持警惕和犹豫,即使从表面上看,这些解决方案可能是实际可行的。
