Name:	Avi Shlaim, Ph.D.
Title:	Professor of International Relations Oxford University
Position:	Pro Geneva Accord to the question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?"
Reasoning:	"Yasser Abed Rabbo and Yossi Beilin signed a 'peace agreement' between Palestine and Israel in Geneva on 1 December 2003 amid great media and political fanfare. The Geneva Accord is a 50-page document that deals in detail with all aspects of the dispute... The Geneva Accord demonstrated not only that there was a significant body of moderate Palestinians who were prepared to negotiate with Israel a final settlement to the conflict but that they had already done most of the ground work."
