 As a new Palestinian leader signs a truce with the Israelis, there is hope that Middle East peace talks might resume after four years of fighting. This summer, Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon is planning to remove Jewish settlers from the disputed Gaza Strip and return it to Palestinian control.

As the possibility of peace once again seems real, Israel s Next War? examines the small group of Israelis threatening to derail it.
