Clinton: I really loved Rabin, and he would have reached a final peace deal | The Times of Israel
Had he lived, Yitzhak Rabin would have been able to reach a peace deal within three years, because “the Palestinians trusted him,” former president Bill Clinton said in an interview aired Monday night. “They were absolutely convinced that he… would do what he promised to do.”
Rabin, said Clinton, had a sort of “psychological hold on the Palestinians,” and particularly on Yasser Arafat.” Rabin “was very tough,” said Clinton, and “in a funny way that’s the reason the Palestinians trusted him as well as the Israelis: Arafat was almost a little intimated by him because of his record as a military man and as a politician.”
