He tells the story of the most powerful moments in the dialogue with Yassar Arafat's Palastinian Liberation Organization. Above all, he exposes a new vision of the Middle East and describes the political and economic conditions necessary to achieve it so that this region, which has been threatened by the dangers of fundamentalism and destroyed by ideological and ethnic conflict, might eventually regain stability and prosperity.Former Prime Minister of Israel Simon Peres was the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time of publication.
