Sample text

The problem as the US saw it was that while Israel was absolutely correct to insist that a withdrawal could take place only in the context of a lasting peace, it had at the same time also to convince the Arab world that it had no territorial ambitions. The Arabs for their part must persuade the Israelis and the world at large that they no longer sought Israel’s destruction. A conclusive peace treaty, the USA believed, would solve this problem by laying to rest both Arab and Israeli fears. But concluding such an agreement did not necessarily mean that the two had to embark on face-to-face talks.

53 Drawing on centuries of experience, it hoped to use its finely honed diplomatic skills to square the circle and reconcile the Arab demand for an immediate and total Israeli withdrawal with Israel’s insistence on unconditional, direct negotiations and a peace treaty. Convinced that of itself neither demand was possible, the Foreign Office nevertheless believed that any UN resolution must in essence repudiate the principle of conquest by force, call for an Israeli retreat and insist on a durable and lasting peace.

Direct talks, far from being a sacred cow, Eugene Rostow, the US Deputy Foreign Secretary, informed Yitzhak Rabin, Israel’s Ambassador to Washington, were not the only diplomatic game in town and that in fact third parties were often roped in to help the negotiating process along.
