奥斯陆和平进程已经失败，重新启动这一进程的努力 — — 比如以贝鲁特阿拉伯和平协议的方式 — — 只能导致双方现有矛盾的公开化，也无法跨越巴勒斯坦建国的失败努力而取得成功。
The Oslo process has failed; an attempt to revive it – say, by way of the Beirut Arab peace initiative – will merely bring into the open all of the existing disagreements between the two sides, and will not overcome the Palestinian failure at nation-building.
