内容説明

The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Itzahk Rabin destroyed a pending peace accord between Syria and Israel. This book details the failed negotiations and provides an understanding of US diplomacy in the Middle East and the larger Arab-Israeli peace process. During the period from 1992 to 1996, Itamar Rabinovich was Israel's ambassador to Washington and the chief negotiator with Syria. In this book, he looks back at the course of the negotiations, terms of which were known only to a small group of American, Israeli and Syrian officials. After Benjamin Netanyahu's election as Israel's Prime Minister in May 1996, a controversy developed. Even with Netanyahu's change of policy and harder line toward Damascus, Syria began claiming that both Rabin and his successor Peres had pledged full withdrawal from the Golan. Rabinovich takes the reader through the maze of diplomatic subtleties to explain the differences between hypothetical discussion and actual commitment. This account includes details of Rabin's negotiations and their impact through two subsequent Israeli administrations in less than a year, the American and Egyptian roles, and the ongoing debate between Syria and Israel on the factual and legal bases for resuming talks.
