Indeed, Israel is now in a strategic trap, owing not only to the Arab Spring, but also to its own diplomatic blunders, particularly the disintegration of its alliance with Turkey. No display of military muscle could help; only robust peace diplomacy could end Israel’s isolation.
事实上，以色列现在已陷入战略陷阱，不仅是因为阿拉伯之春，也是因为其自身的外交错误，特别是与其土耳其盟友关系的瓦解。炫耀军力毫无用处，唯有稳步推进和平外交可能结束以色列的孤立。不幸的是，以色列领导人无法拿出处理中东地区所发生的战略再调整的政治才能。
