(IN)SIGHTS is a must-read book for anyone seeking to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the challenges of its peaceful resolution, winning praise from across the political spectrum. Itshares co-author Gidi Grinstein’s personal experiences in peacemaking, which culminated in the Camp David negotiations of 1999-2001, involving U.S. President Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat.
(IN)SIGHTS is uniquely arranged around the outstanding issues between Israel and the Palestinians telling the stories of negotiating the issues of Palestinian statehood; borders, territory and settlements; security; Jerusalem and holy sites; refugees; water, and economics. This structure allowed the authors to share with Jewish and Israeli audiences a fair representation of the Palestinian perspective, and to offer Palestinian and Arab audiences an opportunity to understand the rationale of Israeli negotiators.
(IN)SIGHTS is filled with never-before published accounts and information, illuminating systemic issues and recurring themes. It highlights the crucial interaction among governmental formal and backchannel negotiations, as well as non-governmental track II and policy-planning activities. Indeed, Grinstein and Afilalo’s lessons will be essential for any attempt to successfully forge a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
