Peace Talks
Since the signing of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty (1979), many initiatives were put forth by the international community to further the peace process in the Middle East.
These efforts eventually led to the convening of the Madrid Peace Conference in October 1991, held under American and Soviet auspices, which brought together representatives of Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinians. The formal proceedings were followed by bilateral negotiations between the parties and by multilateral talks addressing regional concerns.
In the early stages of the talks, there was great mistrust between parties, but with time there was progress in some cases. There was, however, a stalemate in some cases. Here's a look at how talks went with different countries.
