Israel on the Verge of a Third Intifada?

Against the backdrop of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces, this brief addresses speculation whether Israel is on the verge of a third intifada. According to the author, this question should also be raised due to the basic state of relations between Israel and the Palestinians and the crisis of government in the Palestinian Authority. It is argued that even if it is presumed that the continued deadlock will ultimately provoke a Palestinian outburst, it does not appear that the current events will bring about large scale escalation that in retrospect will be called the third intifada.
