Abstract

Ahmad Quray' (Abu 'Ala'), Palestinian Prime Minister, presents in this book his account of the Oslo negotiations that led to the signing of the first agreement between the PLO and Israel in 1993. In his capacity as head of the Palestinian delegation to these negotiations, then to the multilateral negotiations, he presents the true Palestinian account of what took place through this negotiating channel, in full details. The book is based upon internal documents, such as reports, memoranda, written clarifications submitted by the negotiating team to the political Palestinian leadership, minutes of negotiating sessions which summarize long hours of successive negotiations, and the personal testimony of Ahmad Quray' concerning the facts, positions, and arguments that took place within them. The book also contains documentary appendices including the minutes of nine different talks' sessions.
