During the recent aborted Oslo peace process, Yasser Arafat was effectively asked to cut a deal for the majority of Palestinians that would leave out the minority of Palestinians who live in exile in the refugee camps. Despite the political rationality of cutting a deal that would have led to a Palestinian state in the vast majority of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Arafat felt compelled to hold out for a deal for the refugees – one which was not forthcoming from Israel. 40 THE BIRTH OF THE STATE An overlooked area of the refugee crisis caused by the 1948 war is the question of the Jewish refugees who were expelled from their Arab countries of origin following the creation of Israel.
Among his many mischief-making activities, Nasser backed the cross-border fedayeen raids by Palestinian guerrillas on Israel and supplied weapons to the FLN (Front de Libération Nationale) in Algeria who were fighting against French rule. Unwittingly, he had given Israel and France a common cause that Israel was to exploit. Egypt had taken two decisions that appeared to provide a clear insight into its intentions: the establishment of a joint military command between Egypt and Syria in 1955 48 SEARCHING FOR A PLACE AMONG NATIONS (Jordan joined in 1956), which was perceived as an indication that Nasser was organising the Arab world for a second war against Israel; and the nationalisation of the Suez Canal on 27 July 1956.
Though the talks did produce armistice agreements between Israel and Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, there were no meaningful peace negotiations. A young Yitzhak Rabin, who had been dispatched by BenGurion as a member of the Israeli delegation to the talks, thought that the agreements were very bad for Israel, and begged not to have to sign the documents. Rabin sensed at the talks that the 41 WHY BLAME ISRAEL? agreements would lead to another round of hostilities in the near future. Another young officer who was part of the Egyptian delegation, Gamal Abdul Nasser, and who met Rabin during the talks, was to play a major role in proving Rabin correct.
