The Palestinian-Israeli
Declaration of Principles: Current and Future Prospects.

SUMMARY:
| The first session at this
one day conference was on the "Nature and
Significance of the Accord" and was chaired by Isiah
Jad and addressed by Dr. Ibrahim Abu Lughod, Dr. Ali
Jarbawi, Dr. Khalil Shikaki and Dr. Riad Malki. The
second session, chaired by Dr. Roger Heacock and
addressed by Raja Shehadeh, Dr. Ziad Abu Amr and Dr.
Ahmed Harb concerned "Direct Implications of the
Accord". The third and final session on "The
Accord and the Future Viability of the Palestinian
Entity" was addressed by Dr. Salim Tamari, Ibrahim
al-Daqqaq, Dr. Nabeel Kassis and Dr. Azmi Bishara. It was
chaired by Dr. Mahdi Abdul Hadi of PASSIA. The emphasis
was on Palestinian zeal to continue creating facts on the
ground and build national authority through the
transitional period in a move towards independent
statehood. This could be seen as a historical process for
regional settlement and normalisation of Arab/Israeli or
simply as an end to a historic conflict.
