Listen to the Film Audio Track for FRONTLINE's seminal 2002 documentary on how the Israeli-Palestinian peace process begun at Oslo was derailed and ultimately undone by the dynamics of politics and violence on both sides. Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road From Oslo traced how cautious optimism in the aftermath of Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat and then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin agreeing to the 1993 Oslo Accord was undermined in the following years by violence and major setbacks. It explored the growing threat to the peace process posed by radical nationalist factions among both Jews and Palestinians — groups, including Hamas, that opposed all compromise between the two peoples. The documentary also examined the U.S. role in the peace process, including the U.S.-brokered negotiations at in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road From Oslo includes interviews with key figures from both sides of the negotiating table, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Saeb Erekat, and Ehud Barak.

A recording of a webinar on the current state of Palestinian politics with three rounds of elections on the horizon. Our guest was Zaha Hassan, a visiting fellow, at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace here in Washington, and an expert on Palestinian politics. She is a human rights lawyer, and in the past was the coordinator and senior legal advisor to the Palestinian negotiating team during the PLO’s bid for United Nations membership. She was also a member of the Palestinian delegation to Quartet-sponsored exploratory talks between 2011 and 2012. You may remember the talks between Yitzhak Molcho and Saeb Erekat.

Host Yehuda Kurtzer is joined by Daniel Kurtzer (Princeton), a former US Ambassador to Egypt and Israel and longtime American negotiator in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. They remember Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, and reflect on the humanity and necessity of the peace process. Identity/Crisis is partnering with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. A full transcript of this episode can be found at:

The man that maybe more than any other formulated and represented the invented «Palestinian narrative”, Saeb Erekat, has died. We take a closer look at who he was and also at the agreement that he helped negotiate and that still shapes daily life of Palestinian Arabs and Israelis today, the failed Oslo Agreement. (Picture from the exit from Jericho with the remains of an Israeli checkpost.)

Mannen som kanskje mer enn noen annen formulerte og representerte den falske palestinskarabiske narrativen, Saeb Erekat, er død. Vi ser nærmere på hvem han var og også på avtalen han hjalp å forhandle frem og som fremdeles former dagliglivet for de palestinske araberne og tildels israelerne den dag i dag, den mislykkede Osloavtalen. (Bildet er fra en av utkjørsveiene fra Jeriko med restene av en israelsk sjekkpost.)

SBS Jerusalem report with Peta Jones Pellach: The death of Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and threats to end the coalition government.

Jim Kavanagh, Writer at thepolemicist.net and CounterPunch and the author of "Over the Rainbow: Paths of Resistance after George Floyd" joins us to discuss a senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly, reporting that "We have been told: Ignore the media, and wait for it to be official from the government."Carlos Castaneda, Immigration Lawyer, joins us to discuss the recent, UN rights review on the United States. According to an article in yesterday's Times Malta, 120 country representatives took part in a half-day, mostly virtual public debate about the US human rights record. According to reports, the representatives made a long line of recommendations for improvement.Mark Sleboda, Moscow based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's recent Facebook post.

According to an article in The Top Ten News, While Biden could ease off Beijing in certain respects after Inauguration Day, many Chinese have adopted a fatalistic view of the post-Trump world fearing that U.S.-China relations are likely to be fraught for four more years, if not a generation.Daniel Lazare, Investigative Journalist and Author of The Velvet Coup, joins us to discuss yesterday's report in Shadowproof.com about the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's legal team submitting their closing argument to a British magistrates' court. They argue, "It is politically motivated, it is an abuse of the process of this court, and it is a clear violation of the Anglo-U.S. treaty that governs this extradition."Gerald Horne, Professor of History at the University of Houston, TX, author, historian, and researcher joins us to discuss the Democratic party not getting sweeping victories during the recent election. Democrats failed to win the Senate, despite nearly having twice the number of Senators up for re-election than the Republicans. The Democratic Party also lost seats in the House of Representatives. Author and Activist Miko Peled joins us to discuss the death of Saeb Erekat, 65, a Palestinian negotiator who shaped Arab-Israeli peace agreements.

Die veteraan Palestynse politikus en onderhandelaar, Saeb Erekat, is weens Covid-19 dood. Die 65-jarige is in die Hadassah-mediese sentrum in Jerusalem oorlede nadat hy in Oktober positief vir die koronavirus getoets het. Hy was die Sekretaris-Generaal van die Palestynse Bevrydingsorganisasie en ‘n raadgewer van die Palestynse President, Mahmoud Abbas. Erekat het vir 25 jaar vredesamesprekings met Israel gelei en was betrokke by onderhandelinge vir die Oslo-ooreenkoms wat in 1993 onderteken is.

Saeb Erekat was the recognizable Palestinian voice for decades. He pushed peace through negotiation. A two State solution with a Palestinian homeland.He believed in Arab States adopting democracy. He didn't believe the Israeli Palestinian conflict was religious and recognized Israel and it's right to exist side by side with Palestinians.Saeb passed away this week from Covid19. As a reporter I knew him well, and conducted one of the last interviews with him this summer.

Is he alive or dead?

Some news sites reported that he died on Monday from the coronavirus.

Also discussed on the show; the US elections and the current bombshell of Biden's financial corruption scandal.

An edited version of a May 22, 2020 briefing call with Saeb Erekat, the secretary general of the PLO’s Executive Committee, and one of the Palestinian leadership’s chief diplomats. For years, Dr. Erekat was the chief Palestinian negotiator with Israel, and in the eyes of many personifies the Palestinian commitment to a two-state peace accord with Israel.

Later that day, he was found guilty of that charge at the Westminster Magistrates' Court. Now the real battle ensues: will he be extradited to the US, bringing his seven-year stint in the embassy to a dramatic close? Assange entered the embassy June 19, 2012, to avoid extradition to Sweden over a sexual assault case that has since been dropped and remained there in exile for six years, nine months and 24 days, or 2,488 days from start to end. What's been going on in London around this issue?It was two days of questions for US Attorney General William Barr. With the Russia investigation complete, Barr said he was preparing to review “both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign,” including possible improper “spying” by American intelligence agencies. Is this really news, or is it more political theater? Should we be concerned that the FBI and or other intelligence agencies in this country opened an intelligence investigation into a US presidential candidate?With all votes counted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fifth election win is confirmed. After a full day of rechecking, Likud gained a seat to outscore Benny Gantz's Blue and White alliance, 36-35, United Torah Judaism lost a seat, and Netanyahu's path to a majority coalition is clear. Netanyahu was confirmed as the big winner of Israel's general elections on Thursday night, when the Central Elections Committee published the completed tallies of Tuesday's election, a full 60 hours after the polling stations closed. Israeli voters “have said no to peace and yes to the occupation,” Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said Tuesday night. Thanks to enthusiastic support from the Trump administration, Netanyahu has been emboldened to pursue right-wing policies — he now says that if he wins, he will annex the West Bank, home to around 2.5 million Palestinians. Gantz called this pledge “irresponsible.” While many observers brushed it off as campaign rhetoric, the Trump administration's unwavering support makes this a real possibility, believes Jake Walles, who served as US consul general in Jerusalem from 2005 to 2009 and is now a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.Holden Matthews, the 21-year-old man accused of burning three historically black churches in Louisiana, was influenced by “black metal,” police say – a music genre sometimes tied to organized hate. Matthews engaged in a conversation about Varg Vikernes on Facebook. Vikernes is a musician who is linked intimately to National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM), a subgenre within black metal that is explicitly racist and fascist in nature. Vikernes, who is Norwegian and founded the band Burzum, burned down three historically significant churches in his homeland during the 1990s. He also murdered a guitarist for the black metal band Mayhem. From prison, Vikernes expressed views closely aligned with neo-Nazism, even though he objected to that term. Anders Breivik, the Norwegian far-right terrorist who murdered 77 people, including children, during a 2011 rampage, mailed Vikernes his manifesto before his arrest. In a 2012 blog post, Vikernes took issue with Breivik's methods and wrote that Breivik should kill himself, and argued there were more constructive ways to deal with “internationalists lead [sic] by their Jewish masters.” Matthews, the son of a Louisiana sheriff's deputy, is in St. Landry Parish jail. He's charged with three counts of simple arson of a religious building. The churches Matthews allegedly burned were the St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre, the Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas and the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Opelousas. The fires occurred on March 26, April 2 and April 4. It is unclear if Matthews allegedly chose the churches because of their connection to the black community.GUESTS:Lee Stranahan — Co-host of Fault Lines on Sputnik Radio.

Israele uccide altre due giovani vite nella Marcia del Ritorno Donald Trump ha annunciato che non partecipera' all'inaugurazione dell'ambasciata statunitense a Gerusalemme, prevista per il 14 maggio. La delegazione statunitense sarà quindi guidata dal sottosegretario di Stato, John Sullivan. La Palestina, da parte sua, ha invitato a boicottare l'inaugurazione. Partecipando all'evento, i colleghi stranieri farebbero apparire legittima la decisione della Casa Bianca, spiega il diplomatico palestinese, Saeb Erekat. E mostrerebbero disprezzo per i diritti del nostro popolo. Ripetutamente violati da Israele. E' salito, infatti, a 51 il numero delle vittime palestinesi dall'inizio della Marcia del Ritorno. “I nostri soldati hanno aperto il fuoco su tre sospetti in procinto di oltrepassare il confine”, ha comunicato, domenica, l'ufficio stampa dell'esercito israeliano. Due sono stati uccisi: i ventenni Abdel Rahman Qudeih e Mohamed Abu Reyda. Nel frattempo, il presidente venezuelano, Nicolas Maduro, e l'omologo palestinese, Mahmud Abbas, incontratisi ieri a Caracas, hanno annunciato la creazione di un fondo comune per lo sviluppo tecnologico dei popoli dei due Paesi. L'entita' iniziale del fondo e' pari a 20 milioni di petro, la nuova criptovaluta venezuelana.

Donald Trump's announcement that he's formally recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and setting in motion a plan to move the US embassy there has been condemned by many world leaders. So where does it leave the Palestinians? The decision has motivated some to take to the streets in protest. Others wonder how peace can now be achieved. Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, has said that the US has lost its right to act as a mediator between Israel and the Palestinians, and Saeb Erekat, his chief peace negotiator, has said 'the two-state solution is over'. So, is that right? Could a one-state solution now be a viable alternative and what would that look like? And how does the peace plan envisaged by Donald Trump's son-in-law and Middle East envoy, Jared Kushner, fit in? Owen Bennett Jones and a panel of experts discuss the options left for the Palestinians.

Stephen Sackur speaks to veteran Palestinian negotiator and secretary general of the PLO Saeb Erekat. Why are so many mostly young Palestinians intent on killing Israeli Jews with whatever weapons they can lay their hands on? The Israeli Government blames the surge in violence on hate fuelled incitement sanctioned by the Palestinian authorities. The Palestinians say it is a response to the intolerable conditions of occupation. Is a new wave of extremism sweeping the West Bank and Gaza?(Photo: Saeb Erekat. Credit: AFP/Getty Images)

What must it be like to have been at the centre of the seemingly endless and fruitless quest for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal for more than two decades? And is there any reason for expectations to rise as US Secretary of State John Kerry prepares to publish his own outline for a deal. Hardtalk speaks to veteran Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat. Are we approaching a defining moment or a dead end?
