With the prospect of a new order in the region the p. L. O. Needed to shift emphasis from revolution to negotiation. But the new Political Forces were making their presence felt within palestinian society. Threatening the role and relevancy of the p. L. O. Passible following the 1991 gulf war u. S. President george bush and his secretary of state james baker decided that was high time to resolve the problems in the middle east they devised a formula to bring the reluctant israel to the negotiating table i think bush was was really annoyed and he he and baker came up with this idea which i thought was actually quite quite smart and said you can have the loans but only if you agree to a complete freeze on settlements because we are not going to subsidize policies in the west bank that we oppose in the u. S. Congress baker increase the pressure on the israelis goading them to call its going to take some really good faith affirmative effort on the part of our good friends in israel and if we dont get it and if we cant get it quickly i have to tell you mr levine that that. Everybody over there should know that the telephone number is 1202456141 extension 4 when youre serious about peace call us. The american strategy worked and israeli and arab delegations attended the peace conference in the spanish capital madrid in october 1901. Although p. L. O. Leader Yasser Arafat was not invited he was well represented by palestinian negotiators from gaza and the west bank. On a fact kept a tight rein on the palestinian negotiators and they made sure they told the party line and a shot of 50000. Well that the shuttle it was shot at their vision when i came in out of madrid the speech delivered by hyde that obvious chef in madrid was written by hand and i strongly and to be. No foot and i come highly contributed to it but in the end it was faxed to tunis and we waited till morning until by return facts we got arafats blessing with notes and amendments in his handwriting. The americans and the spanish new place after the madrid conference further negotiations continued in washington away from the media spotlight secret talks were also held between israeli and palestinian officials. In april 1902 a plane carrying yes an artifact crashed in the new view as an. Artifact survived. But the crash highlighted the lack of any clear successor to the Palestinian Leader the focus of. The transition of power was becoming an increasingly important matter in the palestinian territories islamist factions which were not members of the p. L. O. Were steadily building a solid base of support. They were vocally opposed to the negotiations artifact was conducting with israel. Of the figure of. The physical system that this enemy the ideas in madrid if you would wouldnt say if one of the at least there were many were also violent as well as these the. Many palestinians shared such views unconvinced that negotiations with israel would lead to a breakthrough aware of the skepticism on a fad gave the go ahead to a secret channel of talks in the norwegian capital oslo. Yes that out of 5 of them into strategy was to open many channels and that many people try to achieve something there he keeps his windows open and they waits the incoming when the end result is whats important not the person or persons delivering the goods. On august 20th 1903 israeli and palestinian negotiators reached a cordon also agreeing to a framework for resolving their decades long conflict the oslo accords were announced to the world. Hamas was quick to condemn the accords. It was the 1st sign of a growing divide between hamas and the p. L. O. On september 13th 1903 israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak Rabin and p. L. O. Leader Yasser Arafat shook hands and sealed the deal at the white house. The children of abraham the descendants of isaac and ishmael have embarked to gather on a bold journey together today with all our hearts all our souls weve been shallow so long things come to my eye im we would fold against you published. And we say to you. In the old leave the voice. Enough for. T. V. And not. My not mock at the said. A 2nd that you are sad that. A sob not yet you. Had to step. Down not just. This cell i mean i had to wash my it was the 1st time this street and christ leaders had come face to face was. Condemnation of the hostility toward spread like wildfire throughout the. My. Feel that you know me as well. On this black day hello betrays the blood of the martyrs who fell for their homeland. Today the p. L. O. Is harmed beyond belief its own people and sold out there right in their homeland palestine today the p. L. O. Recognizes israel and acknowledges this really sovereignty over the whole of historical palestine. Notwithstanding these criticisms Law School Boards found supporters of the past such a lovely. Place a lot of have been most awfully good. But one of the. Faisel hussein and god rest his soul used to say that he had reservations about the all slow cords but he called it out child and that it was better for us to defend jerusalem from ramallah next door than defend it from far away trueness. By the Peace Process initiated by the oslo accord soon began to fall. On february 25th 1940 goldstein a jewish extremist opened fire on palestinian worshippers in the main mosque of hebron killing 29 and wounding 150. I. Was. Just weeks later hamas responded with 2 suicide bombings inside israel killing 15 survives. Suicide attacks were to become a trademark tactic of. The mosque massacre and the suicide attacks did not preclude the signing of the gaza jirga agreement may 9095 in which israel agreed gunder take up with girls from those areas. In july 994 at a fat return to gaza. He received a heros welcome. It was the 1st time in 27 years that the p. L. O. Leader returned to the homeland he had devoted his life trying to. Return heralded the establishment of the Palestinian National authority for p n a set up to fulfill the terms of bosco look once and administer the palestinian town. On a fat from the difficult to make the transition from the. Leader of the liberation. I. Built his authority on a totally teria bases the criteria for admission to the instruments of state was contention upon being a member of his fed the movement and recommendation of one of his Security Apparatus it was single party old with no accountability. As i refer to try to build the foundations of state he also needed to continue negotiations final status issues such as the status of jerusalem security borders and refugees remained on brazil. But the Prime Minister of israel at the time Binyamin Netanyahu maintained a hardline negotiating stance. It did not endure him to u. S. President bill clinton. Well initially i mean he actually said after this 1st set of me when that a ok. He left the room i said what is i think the superpowers he is and were not. Final status issues came back on the negotiating table following the election of a whod back as the israeli Prime Minister in 1900 but i quickly gained the ear of the u. S. President and brocks logic is. What do i need and what do i want i want to get to a final Status Agreement with the palestinians by the time you president clinton evolves thats what he tells them in august 99 when he visits but ox offer was for israel to withdraw from much of the west bank while keeping sovereignty over tea parts of jerusalem in 2000 he convinced clinton of the need to convene a meeting without a fight in the United States to resolve the final issues one and he couldnt say no to the president he came with a profound suspicion and resentment suspicion that the americans and the israelis were going to present him with a fait accompli that he couldnt accept and resentment a day whod brock who he believed had chased these really serious negotiation for the preceding 7 months ignoring him and israels commitments and who was prepared to give to our side 99. 9 percent of the Golan Heights minus 400. 00 yards off the northeastern portion of the lake and yet mr baraks offer to our friend camp david was 90 percent but i could refuse to meet alone without a fight at the camp david now at camp david brock took this position i dont want to meet on the on our phone i dont want to build that kind of personal connection because again once im with arafats alone he will write down everything and barack would say he always says its not our photos as its notepad and he writes on everything that people say keep it in his pocket and one day will come out and say barack has agreed to divide jerusalem and so i cant accept that they felt they did not have come they have it. Well and you know in the zone aka how do you want arafat to go to camp david and end the conflict without getting a written offer from barack im certain that if he had been presented with a written offer he would have asked to have had it and initialed and put it in his pocket and im certain of that and that. Before agreeing to attend the camp david summit on a fact sort of assurances that he would not be made the scapegoat if the talks fail. On a fact rejected by next proposals at camp david he concluded the palestinian state in visaged would not be viable made up of count on and completely surrounded by territory to be the next to israel. Should be all the house and then what the clinton he breaks his promise and blames out of fatah the failure of calm day with the man so out of 5 is made out to be a liar thats plain shameful. Much of the western media criticized on a fact that the time for rejecting the proposals. But today former u. S. Administration officials acknowledged that artifact had little choice. What was presented at camp david i think if you ask any american negotiator today any of us do we think the palestinians could have accepted the ideas that president should could have accepted the ideas that president clinton put on the table or already briefed our fight on in july 2000 i think they would all say they would have to say in hindsight now they couldnt accept they could accept them because there was no way could defend a 9 to one swap theres no way you could accept israeli sovereignty or her own theres no way could accept. This patchwork of sovereignty over jerusalem etc etc in fact the proof of the matter is. The palace in need is for today a lot as the most moderate. Mood of us about mosen yes a bit rebel they all rejected what was on the table and not on the table at camp david in terms that were even more harsh than our fight him self they were adamantly against the. So that tells you something about whether these were the kind of proposals that allison could accept should he have taken the veil of. Public. A last ditch attempt by clinton at the end of his presidency failed to produce an agreement and out of out was playing i blame it partly on on. Clinton dennis they told the incoming. Administration. Bush and cheney literally on Inauguration Day that a father was totally responsible for the failure of the Peace Process and that he was a liar and you couldnt count on you could try to deal with him. After the meeting at camp david on a truck returned to gaza and received a heros welcome for refusing to accept what the palestinians viewed as an acceptable. He was by now however a pariah in washington unwelcome and on trust. Just weeks later the 2nd intifada erupt into triggered by arielle shot owns visit to the temple mount or noble sanctuary in jerusalem. The palestinians had lost hope with a diplomatic approach. Amid the death and violence of the new intifada and hamas increased its role and its power base in the occupied territories. In israel but act lost the elections to the leader of the israeli opposition out of old archrival carry out shot on shot on was in no mood for concession and following the september 11th attacks on the United States he was quick to spot an opportunity to get the americans more on his side. Edge about it and then set. September 11th allowed children to gain sympathy for israels internal to cuti situation in effect what he was saying was that what you in america fate of september 11th i face on a daily basis and children was able to convince the world that yes i was the source of terrorism and. Israeli military actions that kill Children Women and elderly because palestinian with reactions to be emotional instead of political and therefore revenge became the source of justice for the weak israelis knew this i believe their crushing of the palestinians political backbone is one of the great achievements of the israeli army during the intifada so in other words there was chaos. In the spring of 2002 at a. O. L. Chat on decided to hold Yasser Arafat personally responsible for every act of violence perpetrated against israel. Israeli forces quickly surrounded artifacts headquarters in ramallah and set out to systematically destroyed all the instruments of palestinian state for. The siege and with few remaining allies artifact turned down an offer from chad on to the point. He feared he would not be allowed to return instead of fat and else that he would fight to the very end. Under pressure on a father devolved some of his powers to the newly appointed Prime MinisterMahmoud Abbas also known as i will now as im not in arafats eyes are bass proved ineffective and i shall continue under obama. I was without a fight when Prime Minister abbas was in washington had received a phone call telling him it was no good sheria the white house had not agreed to him regaining his freedom at that point arafats find out if the americans refused to grant abbas the freedom of Yasser Arafat will the democratically elected president of the Palestinian People does he think they will give him the rights of the Palestinian People in jerusalem on borders and the issue of refugees they will log out of that subsequently quickly move to engineer the fall of all muslims cabinet and he did it. Surrounded in his ramallah headquarters and a fat held out until october of 2004 when he was struck down by a mysterious and as. Israel said it would allow him to seek treatment abroad and return. Died in a paris hospital calls on. The palestinians claimed he was poisoned. The israelis protested their innocence. And it. Didnt. I just checked every half term. Record will say. About time for the president to fight. He was on my corner in the process of the world. He was not only a consomme guy with an abomination of the people. Off all the oppressed people throughout the large. Ops and to lose a man off that stacia and thinking is that great go. Order those off fighting against oppression. That we regret and that work if i want to conduct says to his family and throw them out of paper i dont want him to know. I love. What i same food thing the way the world stood by and watched while i fought was treated that way in the last years of his life. Its absolutely shameful. Following out of pats death Mahmoud Abbas was elected president of the Palestinian Authority but he lacked the power base and hold over palestinian politics that on a fact had to stop which. Soon face the challenge to his all for the from hamas the Islamic Movement which now commanded the loyalty of a large proportion of palestinians. In january 2006 hamas defeated the fact the movement of hamas in parliamentary elections. A power struggle ensued between the Palestinian Authority led by a bus and hamas. Gun battles broke out between fatah and hamas come. In the summer of 2007 from us fighters captured the fatah headquarters in gaza. Securing control of the area gaza became the confirmed stronghold of hamas fatah had been supplanted. Without a father of lost control of gaza the way that. Its hard to believe that he would have for one simple reason. It wasnt like he lost a lot of support among palestinians i felt it even as time went by but he was an icon because he put the palestinian issue on the national the International Map he established for the international community. A sense that somehow what he had edified as passing National Aspirations had to be achieved so he put the Palestinian Movement on the world stage and he also unified the palestinians in a way that no other leader had i think whats happened since he has died. Should tell us something about how central he was to the palestinian map and you know its ironic that. Even some of those who were most critical of our fight among palestinians during his final days are the most eager to to to to rally behind his name in his picture in his flag today. Today the Palestine Liberation Organization is no longer the force it once was. The emergence of new groups such as hamas has eroded support for the traditional people. Rather than being given Unifying Force the p. L. O. Is now were protecting this into a palestinian dispute. The revolution started over 40 years ago may have feet. But the dreams of the palestinians for statehood live on as strong as ever.
