  • Oslo at 25: an Illusive Peace
    Oslo at 25: An illusive peace 22-23 October 2018 University of São Paulo Programme Booklet - English.indd 1 19/10/2018 15:43:56 Oslo at 25: An illusive peace The Oslo Accords signed in 1993 were supposed to end in a final settlement of the Palestine- Israel conflict after an interim period of five years. That objective never materialised with the seven ‘permanent status’ issues yet to be negotiated. The Declaration of Principles (DOP) lists them in the following order: (1) Jerusalem, (2) refugees, (3) settlements, (4) security arrangements, (5) borders, (6) relations and cooperation with other neighbours, and (7) other issues of common interest. From the onset, it was clear that the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the State of Israel had two contradictory visions of the process. While the former envisaged an end to Israel’s settler colonialism, the latter saw it as an opportunity to create a system of indirect rule over the territories occupied in 1967. Whereas there were 260,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1993; today they number more than 600,000. The obvious question, therefore, is that if Israel was really committed to peace, why did it invest so heavily in the construction and maintenance of new settlements in the occupied territories. In normal circumstances, where the rule of law is upheld and mediation was conducted in good faith, this situation could not have persisted. The Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 clearly prohibits countries from moving their population into territories occupied in war (Article 49). Hence, it was inevitable that the disregard of international law in the Oslo process would lead to a dead end.

  • Annapolis: Optimism Vs
    Annapolis: Optimism vs. Pessimism Sojourners Magazine, January 2008 “Do you know the definition of a pessimist?” asks Afif Safieh, head of the PLO Delegation to the USA. He answers with a bitter smile: “an optimist with information.” In an interview with Akiva Eldar published in Ha`aretz back in September 2007, Afif said, “My message to the American society as a Palestinian diplomat is not `give up a friend` but `add a friend.` I don`t have a problem with the commitment to Israel`s existence; I`m just asking my American friends if you are also committed to Israel`s territorial expansion? Do your interests include the Israeli occupation in the territories? For this is it worth it for you to fight with the entire Arab world? I`m saying to my American friends that the U.S. is a wonderful society, pluralistic, and a nation of nations. It absorbed eight million Muslims, of them four million who are Arabs and 400,000 Palestinians… Public opinion polls show that 60 percent of Americans would like to see a more balanced policy toward us… and 70 percent support a solution of two states.” There are grounds for both optimism and pessimism arising from the Annapolis Conference. What is in no doubt is the price of failure. In a letter written to George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice before the Annapolis conference, a group of foreign policy advisors headed by Zbigniew Brzezinski, Lee H. Hamilton, Henry Siegman, Brent Scowcroft, Paul Volcker and other former Washington officials, spell out how “Failure Risks Devastating Consequences”.
