Obama's brigade promises a fresh perspective to the Middle East issue, but is treading on a difficult terrain
Clinton also named former US Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who negotiated the Dayton Accords to end Balkan Wars. Mitchell has been nominated as “special envoy”, while Holbrook bears the label “special representative”.
Even though Obama seems to have fallen very much to the contour held by the Bush government (considered pro-Israel) on the Palestinian issue, he appeared to demonstrate a better understanding for the predicament of the Palestinians and presented an uncommonly comprehensive sketch for securing the current Gaza armistice. Obama also expressed concerns over the widespread belief in US that only taking a “pro-Likud” approach can assure peace in west-Asia. Obama added, “One of the things that struck me when I went to Israel was how much more open the debate was around these issues in Israel than they are sometimes here in the US.” The choice of Mitchell conveys that US will be back as an honest negotiator in the Middle East conflict. But that does not necessarily mean that US will be an effective mediator, after all, soft power has its limits.
