rabin served during desert storm in the army intelligence. she loved her job in the military because it had always been her dream to serve her country. as a 15-year-old girl, she stoor at the memorial wall right here in washington, d.c. and she knew that serving her country was her true calling. however, she was eventually forced to end her military career because in her words, the army refused to allow her husband to come back overseas to live.ith so, when she was pregnant with her child, she was forced to leave the military in order to m return home to arkansas to be with her husband to raise their children. when she was stateside and they denied her benefits because they were not service connected, forcing her and her husband to pay the cost of maternity care and a child birth out of pocket, she faced competitions and developed endometriosis and ended up having a cesarean section during delivery. after she delivered her baby, she ended up with-triggered thousan-$2,000 inhospital death. this enormous that followed her and her husband throug

and that is why supported rabin.time, in 1993—1995, it might bring about peace and tranquillity. as somebody who has experienced too many wars, i supported it. when i saw the details, as head of intelligence, i was shocked. rabin continued to believe — and i lived in israel at the time, and remember it well, he said, "israel has no choice — we simply have to make peace with our enemies. there is no alternative." that is why i agreed with him that he tried it. but he failed. and i know rabin‘s way very well. and in his last speech, before his unfortunate assassination, he delivered a speech bringing the second half of oslo. he delivered a speech in october 95. he said the palestinian authority should be less than a state. he said, we won't go back to 1967 lines, because no defensible borders, and he knew he was talking about. he was the chief of general staff in the six—day war. and he said that israeli sovereignty should be empowered on the blocks and clusters. he never gave up on the 2—state solution? you have to re

and we already know about rabin's state of mind at the start of this episode. and i wonder if by any chance you were able to gain any more insights into what was going on there. and the second question is you're clearly breaking a lot of dishes here. [laughter] at least one of the reviews that i read calls your account something like deeply discouraging -- [laughter] and i wonder what the reaction has been in israel and generally to, so far to the book. >> ah, your second question is easy. no response. they don't know the book exists. [laughter] it's in english. the spokesman of the -- [inaudible] tried to convince a daily news show, tried to convince them to interview me about the book. it's yale university press, it's supposed to impress them. no, we don't do interviews on non-hebrew books. okay. no response yet. i'm planning to publish an article, and then i'll leave the country or something. [laughter] about the state of -- so that's an interesting point. so rabin collapsed, he had a nervous breakdown before the war. and he didn't recuperate from that. he d

all those stories about rabin collapsing, eshkol.dyan having a sort of mental collapse in that he gave up, shows you the power of the military as an institution. so they're important in the state of israel. if eshkol didn't appoint dyan on the 1st of june israel would not have found itself in war four or five days later. just that every time that's military pushed, the pressure was so strong that even a capable general, very experienced politician, and a hard-nosed person like dyan, all of them basicallgive up. >> thank you. i think we need to bring this discussion to an end. these are important and sensitive issues. i think your book has raised a lot of questions, as you can tell, from the audience reaction and the comments and questions. i thank you for your questions, for the comments. we will -- there will be a lot more on the six-day war. we'll try to make more documents accessible through the digital archives in the coming days and have a number of scholars from all sort's backgrounds and expertise, provide additional insight i

> reporter: the world saw this: the historic 1993 handshake between israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin plo leader yasir arafat, brought together at the white house by president bill clinton. what we didn't see was this: >> you will achieve nothing because you're negotiating method is fundamentally flawed. it's rigid and impersonal. >> reporter: the nine months behind-the-scenes, secret negotiations that led up to the oslo accords. >> this is our chance to make a difference. >> reporter: in the play, "oslo", playwright j.t. rogers has taken real people and events and, with dramatic license, imagined his way into history. >> sneaking into the royal households in norway, the palestine liberation organization illegally meeting with israelis, drinking together, talking about their children in the middle of winter, and you think, as a storyteller, that's manna from heaven. >> a million palestinians most of them without regular electricity or water crammed into an area 25 miles, but only a few miles wide. >> reporter: roger's "way in" was through the little-known, behind-the-scenes role of a

>> i don't pretend to understand dennis rabiner but he may be up to there.cult when an american is taken hostage, you feel for the individual being used as a pond in a bigger international political game. you feel for their family. it's hard on presidents. it was hard on ronald reagan when hostages were taken in lebanon by militant groups bear. the president's real responsibility is to protect all americans citizens and primarily not giving terrorists are state sponsors of regimes anywhere and the incentive to take more hostages. that's the direction the policy ought to be. obviously we want to get those captured out, but you don't want to do it in a way by paying ransom. >> i cannot imagine he's doing this totally unbeknownst to the white house. you work whatever connections you have, even dennis rodman or what. >> honestly, i don't think there's any connection between the release of warmbier and dennis rodman. neil: neither do i. is there something else you or what you think? >> i do not the slightest idea, but sometimes it's more trouble to restrain someb
