Israeli moonbat: we can still make Oslo work
[Link: www.jpost.com...]
When Uri Savir stood on the White House lawn exactly 15 years ago to watch the signing of the first Oslo accord, he was certain that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be over within five years.
In hindsight, Savir - the Foreign Ministry director-general who was Israel’s chief negotiator of the accords - now believes that Oslo marked a critical point in the process, but it was hardly the end point.
“Getting there [to a final peace agreement] takes time,” Savir told The Jerusalem Post on Friday.
“I am convinced that had [then-prime minister Yitzhak] Rabin not been assassinated and if Bibi [Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu] had not won the [1996] elections, we would already be at peace,” Savir said.
Many Israelis believe that the Oslo process died with the failed Camp David talks and the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000.
