Abstract

Water disputes in the Middle East are not a new phenomenon. For the first time, however, three parties in the region, Jordan, Israel, and the PLO for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority have concluded a “regional water agreement” within the framework of the Multilateral Peace talks. For the first time, the rationale behind the agreement is being made public by the author, who was the “neutral” facilitator of the negotiations. The article discusses some of the main elements, including issues related to water scarcity as a driving force of conflicts; application of a “track‐two diplomatic” approach; some lessons learned; as well as some ethical questions related to international negotiation.
