The question of Palestine is at the root of the asymmetrical wars that Israel has been facing in recent years, not only against Hamas, Qatar’s Palestinian client, but also against Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in the region. These wars are creating a new kind of threat to Israel, for they add to the conflicts’ strictly military dimension the domains of diplomacy, regional politics, legitimacy, and international law, in which Israel does not have the upper hand.
巴勒斯坦问题是近几年来以色列所面临的不对称战争的根源。以色列的对手不仅包括卡塔尔的巴勒斯坦代理人哈马斯，也包括伊朗的地区代理人真主党。这些战争正在给以色列造成新的威胁，因为它们导致冲突不再是严格的军事冲突，而是加入了外交、地区政治、合法性和国际法的成分，而在这方面以色列并不占上风。
