ABSTRACT

On January 21, the sides met again around a long narrow table at the Taba Hilton. It was the very same hotel where, in September 1995, a month and a half before Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination, the Interim Agreement “Oslo B” had been signed. Abu Ala, Saeb Erekat, Hassan Asfour, Nabil Sha’ath, Yasser Abed Rabbo and Mohammed Dahlan represented the Palestinian side. The Israeli team included Shlomo Ben-Ami, Amnon Shahak, Yossi Beilin, Israel Hasson, Pini Meidan-Shani, Gidi Grinstein and me.
