Can the spirit of Oslo peace talks be revived?

Weekend

Available for over a year

The Oslo peace accords spurred optimism that peace would be forged between Israel and Palestine and raised expectations for a two-state solution. But eventually talks collapsed almost a decade ago. Can those talks be restarted especially after the latest conflict between Israel and Gaza? Weekend's Audrey Brown spoke to Jonathan Kuttab, a member of the Palestinian legal team who negotiated the Oslo Peace Accords with the Israelis, and Gilead Sher, a former Israeli senior peace negotiator during the 1999-2000 peace summit at Camp David.
