the united nations responded by deploying a peacekeeping force into south lebanon. known as unifil part of this force was made up of norwegian troops i had this and that for the first time. as part as as a norwegian sewn into. visiting the uni field forces and lebanon. i came with friends through israel then i ask about that it was you have been to dog a synonym with that's not stuck in east. it in most developed a dome and all the hard to get a foot if instead it can if it offers just didn't get it. at all for shifting even long enough to get instilling in it he didn't suddenly help nor they come to be it did approximately one thousand soldiers and the course and security of. this

was a very important cause for to us the very vulnerable the first halt to this list what it is that it's working cause contacts the p.l.o. in that context missing in the. minister of foreign affairs. was the deputy minister state secretary of the situation very close at the time though of this of though that the death think it. what makes as we in the. meaning. when it comes to. the candidate who is bill it's like you want to be in tears be the leader in all those. years of office. some of them in you know all the little colonel bridge over here as was me. and that was in. the left.

mr wells to mean. near. let me shake. a more club in norway was more supportive. than many of the others and i think. any of the other european states under there are several reasons one of the most important. no mention the labor party and the rich and trade union therefore this state is for all our socialist experiment. almost social democratic state like the one we have in no way.

in the late one nine hundred seventy s. there was a common bond of socialist ideology between noise labor party and its namesake in israel. one of the key players in this special relationship was a prominent labor party member of norway's parliament johan you're going holst mr holst. person at the political level to me. the minister. or the minister of defense. he came to be roots. in july i think it was seventy nine he made it. and the awful lot of hot then why didn't the whole group. very pleasant did that mr holst's had very close contact. and that it's that that's better mr hall smith even more

interesting to me that out of. interest in order it was that he called things he said. that in the. creek just so awful to me i don't mean i mean it doesn't go over it that almost just before and in. the group and. i would just say it was are almost as you can do and i was with one. you know mozart upward to him removed with a few gentle bloop now. in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the shah of iran fled into exile. israel lost an hour and a major oil supplier. the united states asked no way to guarantee to sell its north sea oil to israel concerned about repercussions for its un troops in lebanon norway scented steeply matts hands long to seek assurances from arafat mr arafat's.

defecting on the phone if you split seconds he said i would have. to such an obvious and go to t two he said and on one condition when i need this secret back channel three said you provided. yasser arafat wanted the norwegians to act as intermediary between himself and israel and the regions and the region government were just shocked to hear the message coming back from our of so probably lived in seventy nine. every year from there you know mentioned try to step up a secret actual between the funeral and israel but israel are absolutely willing. to listen to anything and the region could come up with from

arafat's on appeal. in one nine hundred eighty two the p.l.o. lost its base in lebanon. palestinian fighters were forced to depart following the israeli invasion of lebanon three months. before. a u.s. brokered deal arafat and his entourage moving to tunisia it was. an imitation from to my previous foreign minister and friedman. and myself defense minister. and the went in. to. new year's eve

without effort in tunis. out of all stars the nick could. help him getting. the mean below and then the board. and. time. a member of the assembly know this and so this in. turn out to be. a strong interest in the sources in. trying to contribute to normalization of. the relationship between in the us to help with his charm offensive arafat turned to senior p.l.o. member the time to act as his main go between all our fault i point to dr

saad. he came to visit me because i said this from. your very good impression of him i believe that the p.l.o. has been to give it just achievement of our suffering people i believe that the p.l.o. is the most needed but it. should mean. pharaoh there was the source in the national assembly meeting in portugal and then there were some shooting so. in the lobby. and. this. is some sort of lay where he'd been killed by a lone gunman who pumped five shots into his chest it has never been clearly verified the assassination of subtle ways but the motive appears to be because he

was talking to the israelis on arafat's bellhop got the ball so that we. took his own position. he did so we've taken to the streets in face of david for protection and danger. arafat's continued a double game on the one hand seeking discreet diplomatic channels to israel via the norwegians while on the other hand publicly maintaining a revolutionary rhetoric. was i wanted to tell you i was. at the wal-mart. with the who do this to the store to but that did. in the ne. that can be death cool if.

stored. and don't work and then it is there's been no man has been there witness that can do any. and never been there i was the cause why didn't the one about to work that. out of it. can you be mad what this to me that. is here bad must and obstruct a bit twenty years on torvald stoltenberg will not betray the secrecy of conversations between the p.l.o. and israel we tried. to prepare for and they were. both in the pier this. labor party started their. very much try for home where the people from the israeli labor party that you were contacting mr shimon peres or the other. problem is never did.

i have not told. you know i only. part. is not coming from what i say from all the things i did. in the mid eighty's the labor party in israel formed a coalition government with the. party shimmy i gave a nod and a wink for likud member. to hold secret talks with palestinian politician is allowed husseini in jerusalem. discussion centered on p.l.o. recognition of israel autonomy on the west bank and a federal relationship with jordan. the so-called arab husseini plan became a model for the subsequent oslo accords years later. that it was soon to offer by the outbreak of the first intifada. the

palestinian uprising which took both israel and the p.l.o. by surprise. and. just the sight of them to be a ruler jar left. over they asked was there a lot of promise i looked to you well when demand yes. and no neck men yet. yes the thought of palestinian boys throwing stones against israeli tanks. this david and goliath contest put the israelis under great pressure time is now of the essence. in an exclusive for al jazeera the norwegian foreign ministry has released highly confidential documents that include

killed since fighting broke out last month. right those are the latest headlines let's go back now to al-jazeera world. i repeat for the record in december nine hundred eighty eight p.l.o. leader yasser arafat known to his colleagues. and publicly renounced violence. ordered them is. over the years norway had discreetly been talking to the p.l.o. . with arafat's renouncing violence norway was now ready to pay him an official visit at the p.l.o. headquarters in tunis so this will make long. distance to call to kill. all disco. for.

the first time and the reason for minister was that the p.l.o. it was definitely a success for this is because it was a breakthrough who faces. the same power in this part of. the father of the prime minister on the way today. on mission to arafat's into new in eighty nine. i thought that a hard. part. about the norwegians worked with arafat on creating a channel of communication between the p.l.o. and the israel. from public scrutiny. it's the first time explained of he's. being established and the idea of using an. institution.

which. they have plowed or decided which research institute in no way but they agreed that that would be a good cover they also agreed that. ministry of foreign affairs should pay for it all that was also in the document. was a think tank in all slow founded by the trade unions and connected to norway's labor party it was chosen by the norwegian foreign minister as the perfect host for secret talks between israelis and palestinians its director was taria rod lawson he would go on to become a key figure in the negotiations that led to the oslo accords. with funding from the norwegian foreign ministry in one thousand nine hundred ninety five started to

undertake research in the middle east its first study to examine the living conditions in the occupied west bank and gaza strip. well. this isn't for food. bill to mordor. been through most of the living condition of of young people growing up under the intifada what kind of effects on them. maybe more on the sort of mental psychological effect of of growing up in such. a violent. and why meant but then it was more a social economy it turned out to because because that was sort of the speciality. of fall for. it it turned up to be a little more on the sort of yeah more socio economic. i mean unemployment all these kinds of indicators of social economic life so who were the research shows

that worked on this project from norway yeah they're very aware and there are many . one of them that's a lot of us heading. that that's special service valsin might on the hay bike who were who was the wife of. if he wasn't at the time that he later became the new norwegian foreign minister you on the edge in the holes. i was i was working in this sort of what they call their the foreign ministers cabinet or the secretariat has been was with facile. leg and lost a state secretary more now you know and i had studied political science in the university we had been speaking together we had been to. university camps together and her husband tailored larson i also knew from his work as an academic and his work in creation of farfel the trade union think tank so

these were my friends when i became already when i became. deputy of starting a book in the ministry of foreign affairs is often difficult for foreigners to understand that will always. come from the labor party has rule of law for the most of the post war period so you have collections you are all probably is married together within the labor party. sometimes call it a royal labor party because they are like a dynasty. this was very tight knit foreign minister stoltenberg appointed yun agle and as his deputy. and as a legal secretary she was married to terry or old last seen the director of faffing . stoltenberg sister in law was marianne hi bird who worked in far from she was

married to defense minister you hundred holes this made holes and the foreign minister stoltenberg brothers in law post himself later became foreign minister this extended political family became the norwegian team in the secret is really p.l.o. talks. to use that research institute as the institution as a from diplomatic effort to to facilitate peace talks between the two parties and then do that in all secrecy you are very critical about this what. i think research is in the should not usually be in that they will take two hats being double roles in tel aviv another research institute was also acting as a cover for communication between the israelis and palestinians. this was the

economic cooperation foundation set up by israeli labor party m p u c balan the n.g.o.s that we were leading his for them myself and enjoy which was created earlier by bailey in we were able to go between the two sites in jerusalem and pass messages and come with ideas and even bring the two sides i'm officially together and the hour of an ngo i was involved with talking to the side for many years in a very informal way mainly we. are we in for as a hussaini if from is jerusalem. with whom it was easy to talk. by nine hundred eighty nine with the palestinian intifada in its second year there were few signs of hope for peace. hundreds of palestinians had been killed and

thousands detained. to push the united states under president george bush started to increase the pressure on israeli prime minister yitzhak shamir the peace corps says still to come for stuff to stay just the first stage full interview. conditions. this really is. floors there full autonomy etc this second stage will be direct negotiation this result any preconditions that the palestinian ops and some other countries if they've joined they've never ceased. plea on peace talks.

have ended told the minister territories. democrats believe. they believe. everything changed in the region when iraq invaded kuwait in one nine hundred ninety. the united states led a coalition of nations that retaliated against iraqi forces just two hours ago allied air forces began an attack on military targets in iraq and kuwait these attacks continue as. arafat's rejected a military solution to iraq's invasion of kuwait this proved a costly decision before the. p.l.o. deceived big for that support from that i've got states off to the

void because of. the. support to saddam hussein that financial support disappeared they came all it's of that. void very viki and i think frank was also vulnerabilities. these c.d.'s many more interested in discussing with them often they go for that beef. we of course have crops but elections for the united states of america. they lie there defend and made no secret or we protect the piano obviously and this she had some all over this essman base it's all no work with against me be a little bit over the medical evidence yes. in the aftermath of the nine hundred

ninety one gulf war the united states and the soviet union co-hosted a peace conference in the spanish capital of madrid we have an opportunity. i think a real opportunity to see. arabs arab states. sitting down face to face and direct negotiations with israel. will let the will dock. because you have that show me a you. and nor one of them at the moment and. where you. men are all going for this the need that obama know who is. oh yeah lived. the years in the only boy in a blue with him or him in the toolbar of them philammon e.c.s.

in newark island. the. tomorrow. the men feel well fit for the steamy otunnu must. come out as i have. a letter yesterday about. the israelis laid out a fixed negotiating position the only people where we lived in the land of israel without interruption phone nearly four thousand years. shafique led the palestinians within the joint jordanian palestinian delegation at the talks but it's the union your islam the capital of our homeland and you would just. find that it's been in existence was present and future the settlements must stop now territory where for peace is it obvious to you and territory for illegal settlement

is a partial israeli policy and practice. the three day conference ended with plans for further bilateral and multilateral negotiations between israel and the arabs. documents released after the conference reveal that shamir thought madrid a success. and that james baker said that the us did not support an independent palestinian state. in. he feels too looky him was he him and now so far at the heart that's what obama. israelis who celebrated the end of hanukkah in washington arrived five days late an attempt to make it clear to the united states but back here on their own terms when perspired to pressure off the madrid negotiations moved to washington d.c.

we sincerely feel there are ideas. pulling conformity with the framework of this process as it was made ahead and we speak with a joint today and palestinian delegation. believing everybody. we met likely in my pin the morning. they had as of delegations. we discussed the matter of procedures. and we could not reach yet. and i give him an. israeli government shifted and. two of the grounds returned and openly declared pollution claiming all the palestinian territory not going to see doing anything for the palestinian. refusing to

recognize. the unity of the palestinians inside the don't let the can you cite. feeling the heart of what few rushed about and i would not question or smell the rust mijo johnny b. . can you say you have killed all this theatre and is reddest ever marry more and more angry about these were all distinguished talking about. he said how come you have back palestine if its settlements all over so he had much more under the dash and there are much more. straightforward approach to peace. for the palestinians negotiator. kept the focus of his agenda on one burning issue the

illegal israeli settlement construction in the occupied palestinian territories. by nine hundred ninety one the number of israeli settlers in the west bank and gaza strip exceeded one hundred thousand my visit the result. of the movie magic missile but in the spirit this is the. part. of the. film that we decide. where should i say yes. one time a fresh i love this relief effort for the studio in front of the rest room for with little more for the theater but they're put on top of. i would say one of the most important messages that we got in our almost daily contacts with the shah and hussein in the same binds eoghan all of the palestinian leaders if p.l.o. will not be involved there won't be any progress and more so

a showing husseini told us very clear. hundred showing for us to push and they told us something very very kill if you would like to have an agreement with a palestinian partner who can make concessions there's only one endless and this is the p.l.o. . as i would like to all of us have put up on a source so they must oversee it with other presented over the palace for twelve percent of the pursuers is the fear of if they disqualify the p.l.o. then they're not going to have any palestinian to talk to and for that washington but that to do for we saw it till is to matthew ocean to work and nudge them out to teenie adequately welford washroom to a larger welford washroom to a. mother with any lower shrimp will we do benefit. while one of a beam of our boats hillary in new more will but. i'm relieved was at the mind. when nearly the most on that issue if she would suggest i

didn't and then why the move for dogs. the p.l.o. again approached norway to open a new and secret channel with the israelis in february of one nine hundred ninety two senior p.l.o. official ahmed corona known as abu allah travelled to oslo while a campus witness with the home. managed to market for. the man a man who was in her last thought about what. the. p.l.o. starts to send signals to us here. comes that we no way could become their link to israel if israel was interested then came by some i will share if and he was even more explicit and said i am

talking on directly i have a message straight from the top. norway should try to do this. and it has to be direct lee linked with p.l.o. tunis leadership on the minutes of their secret meeting in all those low reveal that bassam abu sharif told the norwegians that if there were peace the p.l.o. would influence the arab world to stop the boycott of israel. it takes two to tango we did not have the israeli side i had met. bin before he was elected on one of my missions to to his friend april one thousand nine hundred two in april nineteenth two we met be in. the he came for breakfast and then which an embassy and we asked him what is your

approach to the palace here he said i am keen to see some kind of a negotiated settlement in one thousand nine hundred ninety two the israeli labor party led by yitzhak rabin won the general election rabin continued israel's policy of settlement building in public he spoke optimistically of progress in the peace negotiation this will be possible to reach an agreement was the palestinian delegation. stop the shm and before me the first and most important task for a government. process. shimon peres was appointed foreign minister. you see beilin here on the left was appointed his deputy and duri severe on the right the general manager.

beilein was given the green light to start the secret to direct negotiations with the p.l.o. in no way the point about millie was because no way was out of the e.u. it head the independent foreign policy we had meetings with us in with his people and we are many many many meetings. but very little came out of it but then started to understand much better the mindset of both parties beilein actually told the norwegians that it's good that they will make contact with his friend later i joined in order to facilitate you know that to let you know that you have liked to n.g.o.s to non-governmental dialogue this was the we met he met. with also before i met him april and later we found a brother in

a way and many things were similar to our way of thinking his wife was the head of the office of the minister it is that pretty and second is the minister and the deputy were close friends of laos and all of them from the labor party or old friends missed those told them was the foreign minister i knew him very well and the he was very very enthusiastic about. this thought that mitt this was. minister for defense research in new york to talk to the general assembly in september. and in the. on the basis of those contacts and follow up contacts. the. total salt. meant that. time was that i true follow the suggestion to me so i felt the p.r.

and i thought were exactly weak enough so this was exactly the time that israelis should choose to start negotiating with p.l.o. outside p.l.o. the force there was almost that. was the strong power and isreal decided who to talk to when to talk the terms of the negotiations they talked no way no way could like it or dislike it they could. say or go oh a new and self-confident israeli government and the p.l.o. still cast as outsiders by the world community. they were now on the secret road to the oslo accords but much would need to happen before the diplomatic phenolic on the white house lawn. twenty

five years after the thought of zero world tells the behind the scenes story of norway's war and the oslo accords they wanted to have what they froze deniability and reveals how secret negotiations were skewed. told his friend mr everett at our compound and why they're still here to deliver on so much that was promised the prime minister of oslo on al-jazeera. from dusky sunsets over this pruning savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis. hollow we've got some some showers long dispose of rain

coming up in the next sixty minutes a pakistani court orders the release of former prime minister nawaz sharif who was jailed on corruption charges. i. and cheers for the korean leaders after they signed an agreement for a new clear free peninsula. starvation on a number precedented scale aid agencies say more than five million yemeni children are at risk. and on a mission the man who travels the world to help save lives in disaster as a. bonus for says miss he works his magic on the opening night of the champions league group stage plus the human pick springs north and south korea even closer to the top countries plan a joint pit bull twenty thirty two summer games. have

been scenes of jubilation in pakistan after a cold ruled the former prime minister nawaz sharif could be freed on bail the islamabad high cold shouldered sharif his daughter and his son in law be released until their appeal against the corruption conviction can be heard it ruled that there were deficiencies in the case presented to a lower court which sentence them to jail in july one of pakistan's leading politicians and i was sharif has served three terms as prime minister his first began in one nine hundred ninety while the second ended with a bloodless coup in one thousand nine hundred nine and in. twenty thirteen he made a triumphant return to win a third but just four years later sharif was pushed from power i made allegations of corruption and in april the supreme court banned him from politics for life in july the anti corruption court found him guilty for the purchase of four luxury apartments in london he was sentenced to ten years in jail well now he is free on

bail but he still faces two separate corruption charges let's go live now to the pakistan capital islamabad and speak to our correspondent there so he's free for now at least but still has to go to court and fight his case against other corruption cases. absolutely by no means. patently what does. the president of final judgment india. heading for dad will be. now why should he will have to appear. to appear before the national accountability called an ongoing political ban on him will also continue. being found in it and will continue again he may however be able to go out

and throw his support behind party members because elections by election will be coming out in the country very soon so. don't have to face the national accountability of course. but i welcome one foreigner washer. wife. died. in london. he was given a five day unprecedented in order to show that he was able to body and wife entertain. hall he now is expected to be flying out on a special. hall however. by his party leader will be keeping quiet for the next few days. when the shia muslims will be commemorating a shura on the ninth and tenth of modern will likely that he will remain quiet.

for now why should he however he's out of the world and he's obviously still retains a great deal of popularity doesn't see him pakistan despite the his policy having lost the election just recently how well does his reemergence if you like change anything for the new prime minister imran khan. imran khan information many of. the rule of law in fact the biggest critics of the rule of law particularly. the accused of being politicized by mr nawaz sharif's own party will now be feeling all the wide because formation minister it said there did it affect the law it expects the judgment. the proceedings are still underway people do believe that he was involved in matter

of corruption and although. the board and it traditionally even did he had large. party loyalists joined emraan kron of corruption. although he had a wife politically he is definitely weaker than he was when he would rule in that country all right thank you for that come out to our correspondent in islamabad now we can go to the city of. punjab province and speak to the political analyst. shemale thank you very much for talking just you agree with our correspondent there. that he's much we can politically and pretty much will not make much of a threat for him and. that's right at the moment he is but at the same time after today's decision by the islamabad high court tomorrow she would might be you know walking out in couple of hours but at the same time this thing this is
