The Collapse of Trust from Oslo to Gaza's Rupture. The Political History of How Peace With the Palestinians Lost Credibility in Israel - Dr Israel Carlos Lomovasky

The Collapse of Trust from Oslo to Gaza's Rupture, the second volume in the series A Final-Offer Trilogy Blueprint for Israeli-Palestinian Partition, offers a deeply researched and compelling account of how Israeli confidence in the peace process gave way to strategic disbelief.

Written by Dr. Israel Carlos Lomovasky, the book reconstructs the long chain of events that reshaped Israeli public opinion: the Oslo process, Camp David, the second intifada, Palestinian governance failures, Hamas's ideological rise, the Gaza disengagement, the 2007 Palestinian split, repeated Gaza wars, settlement expansion, and the growing view that there was no Palestinian partner capable of making peace and sustaining it.

Rather than relying on slogans, the book follows the chronology in detail and explains how "no partner" became not only a political talking point, but a mainstream Israeli conclusion. Written from the Israeli point of view while remaining historically grounded and analytically rigorous, it offers readers a serious framework for understanding one of the defining political transformations of the modern Middle East.

Blending narrative force with documentary depth, The Collapse of Trust from Oslo to Gaza's Rupture is aimed at readers of history, politics, diplomacy, and security studies, as well as general readers seeking a more serious understanding of why the promise of partition has steadily receded.
