The discussion centers on a recently conducted study (to be
rolled out at the Sept. 30 event) seeking to evaluate strategic risks and
identify knowledge gaps regarding potential future security environments and
their implications for Palestinian security sector reform. Among the key elements
reflected in the white paper was a unique collaboration among teams of social
scientists to develop and run an ICONS simulation exercise designed to identify
the key flash points that might result from an increase in autonomy for the
West Bank in light of differing security requirements. The study and simulation
were conducted for the U.S. Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian
