Description
The three players at the heart of the transformation process the Middle East is undergoing are Palestine, Jordan and Israel, yet despite the importance of internationally applauded agreements reached between them during 1993 and 1994, the real process of achieving durable peace among the people has only just begun. There are many obstacles that could prevent the peace process from reaching the conclusions broadly aspired to: moreover, misunderstandings and mistrust generated by decades of conflict still exist in the general outlook of each of the societies involved.
Against this background, three institutes – PASSIA, the Center for Strategic Studies (Amman) and the Moshe Dayan Center (Tel Aviv) embarked on a joint project to contribute to resolving differences by pooling their resources, knowledge and expertise. Through a program of dialogue and workshops, the aim was to promote understanding regarding their separate identities and existence, their histories and their relationship to others in the region. The proceedings of those trilateral sessions are contained in this book.
