Working Paper - ISRAEL'S STRATEGIC PARADIGM SHIFT
Foreword
The last time a peace deal in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) was made with Israel was in 1994, when King Hussein of Jordan (the same king who oversaw the attack of Israel in 1967 when Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem) recognized the Jewish state. Before that, in 1979 Sadat, president of Egypt, had recognized for the first time a Jewish state.
