| Publisher Description: These 6 volumes cover the government under Moshe Sharett which strove to find an accommodation between the Arab refugees and the security needs of the new Israeli state. The papers include: despatches on the internal government of Israeli-occupied Jerusalem; the status and position of the city of Jerusalem; Israeli-US relations; Israeli-UK relations; Israeli relations with the Arab States of Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon; personality reports with details on the ministers; and first full details of the Alpha Peace Plan from 1955. The papers reporting on Operation Alpha are particularly interesting growing from British and U.S. concerns about the Near East conflict, Operation Alpha began as a shared initiative in October 1954 and eventually, after several stages, became a solely U.S. project a year later. Despite some documents which are still politically sensitive and have been either redacted or withheld the coverage is good. |
