24. The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Talks

There will be a peace agree-
ment in Bayt al-Maqdis.

(Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi,
vol. 3, p. 184)

Bayt al-Maqdis is the name of Masjid al-Aqsa. This hadith may
well indicate that an agreement will be reached in Jerusalem. For the
last 50 years, Palestine has been consumed by fighting and tension.
An important step toward bringing peace and security to this region
was taken during the 1993 peace negotiations in Oslo. No matter how
unjust some of the decisions were, and although some could not be
fully implemented, the fact that the two sides did reach agreement on
specific issues was an important development. In 2003, peace negotia-
tions between the two sides continue, particularly with the American
"Road Map" initiative.
