Abstract

Seen in the context of the Middle East peace process, the security aspects of the Israel/PLO Agreements constitute a small, but important step within this process. Formally, the security arrangements in the bilateral agreements have to be distinguished from the issue of security in terms of strategic needs and arms control dealt with in the multilateral negotiations. However, bilateral security arrangements will in the long run, influence and be influenced by the content of the multilateral negotiations in the field of security. It appears to have become customary in Middle East peace negotiations, that only once an agreement has been reached on a larger issue, do teams of experts deal with the details of security arrangements. This was the case in the negotiations of the Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt, and of the Israel/PLO Agreements. The approach adopted by Israel in relation to Syria concerning the Golan Heights, is also similar in character.
