Joseph Ginat (March 6, 1936 - 2009) was an Israeli anthropologist, author, political advisor, and soldier. Edward Joseph Perkins (born June 8, 1928) is a former American diplomat who served as U.S. Ambassador to Liberia, South Africa, and the United Nations. There has been little progress on the refugee problem because of official Palestinian public positions, other Arab countries' approach to the 'right of return' of all Palestinian refugees, and the contrasting Israeli public policy of not allowing any refugees to return to Israel. Such polar-opposite approaches can never resolve this difficult and longstanding humanitarian problem. By working collectively, the world's leading experts from Arab countries, the Palestinian Authority, Israel, Europe and the United States have developed a chessboard of proposed solutions. The volume in part reflects the polarization that exists on the issue, and in part moves away from the political slogans of both sides, toward concrete proposals for negotiating a comprehensive agreement. By bringing together the history and the creative thinking of the world's foremost scholars on what has been one of the two most intractable issues in Middle East peace negotiations--the return of Palestinian refugees,and the status of Jerusalem--this book provides information that would be useful both in reaching a solution on refugees, and in the implementation of any settlement on which there is agreement.…
