Prophets Without Honor, Shlomo Ben Ami

The fight for peace in Palestine and the end of the two-state solution

In 2000, a summit between US President Bill Clinton, PLO leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was held at Camp David to give a major boost to the pacification process of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Sholomo Ben Ami, then Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel and a relevant figure at that summit, makes a detailed chronicle not only of that failed agreement, but of all the subsequent attempts to resolve said conflict, up to the present day. The result is Prophets Without Honor, which, in addition to being a book that covers the political history of the Middle East throughout the 21st century, is also a profound and even-handed analysis of the reasons why all dialogue initiatives have ended in failure on both sides. parts.
