Christian, Shi’ite Muslim, Druse and ethnically mixed — with the aim of reflecting the balance in each part of the south. Israeli troops might still have to cross into Lebanon, but only for brief, targeted operations to preempt preparations for a terror attack. “We need to remem...
Sephardim resented about the Ashkenazi, Labor Zionist establishment. Begin, at his rally, played it like a virtuoso. “Did you hear what they called you?” he cried. Chachachim. He slightly mispronounced the word, as if he’d never heard, much less used, it before, and that even hav...
questions on the past and future of the Israeli-Palestinian problem. FP: What were your best and worst moments in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, and what was the greatest missed opportunity? Saeb Erekat: Though I was not the chief negotiator at that moment, the connectio...
/ BARAK / 89 question of Jerusalem — than any Israeli leader in the search for peace. Even before I'd left for Camp David, the defections from our coalition meant we’d been left with only 42 seats in the Knesset, nineteen short of a majority. Amid the first, sketchy media report...

/ BARAK / 28 The next key moment in the campaign involved something I did not do. This time, the Israeli television debate came earlier in the campaign, a month before the election. Bibi, Yitzhik Mordechai and I were all invited, as the three main candidates. But I told the TV p...
/ BARAK / 4 reason, that was absurd. Near the end of the campaign, there was going be a head- to-head television debate. In the meantime, though Bibi might be many things, he wasn’t stupid. He was already telling voters that while Peres was making deals with Arafat, ordinary Isr...
/ BARAK / 3 I’d met President Clinton briefly once before, when he received Syrian chief-of- staff Hikmat Shehabi and me after our Blair House talks in 1994. But the Sharm conference provided my first opportunity to spend time with him face-to-face. When Peres and our delegation...
/ BARAK / 41 control of something like 40 percent of the West Bank. That meant — at least in theory — that Israel could limit phase-three to a mere token pullout, leaving the Palestinians with less than half of the territory. “T don’t know what percentage, exactly,” I replied....
We were married there, in the spring of 1969. My parents and brothers came with two busloads of friends from the kibbutz. Avraham Arnan was there, of course. But Ahraleh Yariv and Eli Zeira, two of the military intelligence heroes of the Six-Day War, also drove up for the wedding...
/ BARAK / 61 wasn’t enough, David Levy, my Foreign Minister, told me he would not be joining me at Camp David. He wasn’t resigning, at least not yet. But he knew that the final decisions at the summit would be mine, he feared it would fail, and didn’t want to share in the conseq...
