PrintMaking Peace among Arabs and Israelis

Yet lessons from the history of U.S.-Arab-Israeli negotiations have rarely if ever been extracted and systematically applied to on-going negotiations. In an effort to draw on this rich resource of experience, the United States Institute of Peace convened a study group of American experts to identify those diplomatic techniques that have worked or not worked in Arab-Israeli diplomacy.
