Ever since 1995, when Yossi Beilin and Abu Mazen drafted
their Framework for the Conclusion of a Final Status
Agreement, the contours of a peace settlement have
been fairly clear.
It is only a question of how long it will take for
the real to catch up with the rational.
In
early 2003, Abu
Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) became
the first Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority,
as part of the first reform effort.
