Abstract

The Israel-Palestinian conflict has been characterized as intractable, inextricable, and the root cause of suffering and misery for many of the people who live in the Middle East. Whilst it would be unwise to be lieve that the solution to this problem can be provided by negotiation support systems, we believe such systems can provide useful advice and allow disputants to more understand their goals and perform the trade-offs necessary to arrive at acceptable solutions. Given our research on interest based negotiation support systems to provide family mediation ad vice, we pose the question about the ability of such systems to provide useful advice about the Israel – Palestinian dispute. We examine the differences between family mediation and international conflict resolution and reflect upon whether results from the former can provide useful advice in the latter.
