This book examines Israel's relationship and political decision-making process towards the Occupied Territories from the aftermath of the Six Day War to the Labour Party's electoral defeat in 1977.

The period represents the first decade of Israel's occupation of the Occupied Territories and the last decade in which the Labour Party was Israel's most dominant political force.

Arguing that the successive Israeli governments headed by the Labour Party lacked a strategic policy towards the Occupied Territories to address the country's objectives and needs, this book demonstrates the detrimental effect this had on Israel, on the Middle East in general, and on the Palestinian people in particular.

In addressing key aspects of decision making pathologies, this book raises issues which remain important features of Israeli politics today and an analysis relevant for political decision making worldwide.

Industry Reviews

'Without doubt one of the best works available in understanding the decision-making process that has come to underpin Israel's approach to the Occupied Territories. It moves beyond the well-worn narratives dominated by strategic and religious concerns to explore the political malaise and bureaucratic deadlock that has shaped Israeli policy towards the West Bank and Gaza ever since.' Clive Jones, Professor of Regional Security, Durham University, UK
