ABSTRACT
A strange euphoria has enveloped Israel on the morning after Oslo. The public know that Yitzhak Rabin, the man who was credited with the idea and the negotiation of Oslo and its aftermath. Only thanks to his insistence did the final deal include some guarantees and assurances regarding Israel's security and its future. Left to them, his self-appointed Oslo team would have sold their part much cheaper and caused the volume of the holes to surpass that of the substance. Rabin's slogan that he would not "let terrorists decide the fate of the peace", tended to worsen the stakes for Israel even further. It can be inferred from Rabin's conduct, that though he was not happy with Oslo and would have liked to alter and adapt the Accords to reality, he was bound to them as he saw himself ultimately responsible for their adoption and signature.
