Israel's Borders and National Security
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(STRATFOR) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said May 30 that
Israel could not prevent the United Nations from recognizing a Palestinian
state, in the sense of adopting a resolution on the subject. Two weeks ago,
U.S. President Barack Obama, in a speech, called on Israel to return to
some variation of its pre-1967 borders. The practical significance of these
and other diplomatic evolutions in relation to Israel is questionable.
Historically, U.N. declarations have had variable meanings, depending on
the willingness of great powers to enforce them. Obama’s speech on Israel,
and his subsequent statements, created enough ambiguity to make exactly
what he was saying unclear. Nevertheless, it is clear that the diplomatic
atmosphere on Israel is shifting.
There are many questions concerning this shift, ranging from the competing
moral and historical claims of the Israelis and Palestinians to the
internal politics of each side to whether the Palestinians would be
satisfied with a return to the pre-1967 borders. All of these must be
addressed, but this analysis is confined to a single issue: whether a
return to the 1967 borders would increase the danger to Israel’s national
security. Later analyses will focus on Palestinian national security issues
and those of others.

Combined Force Captures al-Qaida Operative
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(DOD) A combined Afghan and coalition security force captured an al-Qaida
facilitator and two associates in the Nahr-e Shahi district of
Afghanistan’s Balkh province yesterday, military officials reported.
The Pakistan-based attack planner is a close associate of senior al-Qaida
insurgents, officials said, and is believed to have been with Osama bin
Laden in Afghanistan in 2001.
