One of the biggest challenges of the Obama administrations will be the Israel-Palestine question… There have been countless programmes on the issue, but – as one UN diplomat put it – this doc should be watched by every peace negotiator going into the region…
An extraordinary “road map to peace negotiations”. Israelis and Palestinians met secretly over 2 years, picking up discussions on a peaceful solution where they had been left by Bill Clinton at the end of the 1990’s.
Yossi Beilin, former Justice Minister, headed the Israeli delegation and his opposite number was Yasser Abed Rabbo, former Minister of the Palestinian Authority. None had been mandated by their governments, but they delivered an outline to a possible solution for a 60-year-old conflict. An account “decrypted” by 2 of its participants as well as renowned Middle East experts.
