The Geneva Accord: A Strategic Assessment

The Geneva Accord: A Strategic Assessment

December 4, 2003 | Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror
A self-appointed Israeli negotiating team, claiming to speak in the name of a majority of Israelis, concluded the Geneva Accord with a Palestinian delegation. It conceded almost all the security arrangements for the West Bank and Gaza Strip sought by past Israeli governments. The Geneva Accord leaves Israel with no safety net in the event that the agreement is violated by the Palestinian side. It is as though its architects learned nothing from the collapse of the Oslo Agreement.
