Der langjährige israelische Außenpolitiker und ehemalige Knessetabgeordnete Uri Savir ist am 14. Mai in West-Jerusalem gestorben. Savir, der auch als einer der Architekten von Oslo galt, sagte zu dieser Übereinkunft in einem Interview von 2013, aus der Ha’aretz, zu deren gelegentlichen Autoren Savir auch gehörte, in ihrem Nachruf zitiert:
„I think that the title ‚architect of the Oslo Accords‘ is somewhat exaggerated. I was at most a plumber. I got an opportunity to conduct negotiations under clear guidelines laid down by the prime minister and foreign minister.” [Savir did not accept the notion that these accords failed, saying that] “Oslo did not fail or succeed. There was a breakthrough, an opportunity, but it was wasted, since Israel came to their implementation with a prime minister and party who objected to the process. A government can’t implement a policy it opposes,” he said.
