George Bush’s years in power marked an American disengagement from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the eyes of the Administration, the idea that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was not a key factor in Middle-Eastern policies was confirmed by 9/11. Subsequently, intervention in Iraq was supported by the slogan “the road to Jerusalem runs through Bagdad”. Rather than propose a solution, the Annapolis conference merely confirmed problems due to damage on the field. Barack Obama has inherited said problems.
