CHICAGO: In Middle East politics, peace is made not between friends but between enemies, suggesting the harshest foes have a better chance to achieve peace than those who claim to be friends.<\/p>\n
That pattern has shaped some of the region\u2019s most consequential breakthroughs, from the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty to the 1993 Oslo accords and Jordan\u2019s 1994 peace agreement with Israel.<\/p>\n
Each was incomplete, each left the core Palestinian question unresolved, but they all reflected the same hard truth: progress has usually come only when adversaries were willing to sit down across the table.<\/p>\n

Long regarded as a fierce critic of Palestinian leadership, Emanuel is reportedly weighing a presidential run built in part on promises to restore American leverage in the region and reengage both sides in a serious peace process.<\/p>\n
