Middle East Security: Time for Dialogue Is Over (Manijeh Navidnia, Iran Review)

For many years, conflicts between Palestinians and Israel made up the main headlines in mass media across the Middle East. For a few years now, however, the developments of Syria have overtaken the issue of Palestine in hitting the headlines. Following escalation of horrendous developments in Syria, international community finally brought influential countries in the Middle East to the negotiating table in order to prevent continuation of heart-rending incidents in Syria. This process apparently shows that the time for war and conflict is over and at present, diplomatic methods, which are based on multilateral dialogue and agreement, are now at the helm. But is the present time, a high time for dialogue in reality?
