Abstract
Abstract Both the United States and Israel will have to approach the question of Middle East peacemaking and regional stability in the years ahead in the context of reduced American military capabilities. The inevitable impact of a declining U.S. presence overseas is to make regional stability far more dependent on the quality of regional military balances. This article assesses Israeli security requirements and negotiating positions in light of this changing strategic environment. Due to a number of Arab‐Israeli force asymmetries, the Israeli need for secure borders will be much more difficult to accomplish in negotiations on the West Bank and Golan Heights than it was for the Sinai. What becomes central in diplomacy is flexibility and the ability of both Israel and the United States to adjust their policies in accordance with the realities they face in the region.
