Sharm el-Sheikh: A victory without winners
Israel and the Palestinians have reason to be suspicious of one another, to fear that promises and agreements that were achieved at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit this week will not be carried out, as happened with the two previous summits that took place there. The first international summit took place on March 13, 1996. The second, which was conducted by the host, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and by U.S. president Bill Clinton, was on September 4, 1999. At that summit, detailed agreements were reached regarding the release of prisoners, the collection of illegal weapons, the establishment of a port in Gaza, et al. Nothing came of any of these things.
