For at Osloaftalerne, der fortjener bedre end den kommentar, vi lige har hørt, kunne forhandles og undertegnes, var det for øvrigt nødvendigt, at palæstinensere og israelere mødtes igen i hemmelighed uden for det gavmilde, men også besværlige formynderskab fra De Forenede Stater gennem Madrid-processen.
Incidentally, in order for the Oslo agreements - which deserve better than the comments we have just heard - to be negotiated and signed, it was necessary for Palestinians and Israelis to meet in secret, using the Madrid process to escape the generous but inconvenient supervision of the United States.
