Former US official recounts informal Camp David meeting setup with Arafat, involving Shin Bet officer Yossi Ginossar
Former US official recounts informal Camp David meeting setup with Arafat, involving Shin Bet officer Yossi Ginossar The passage provides a first‑person account of a back‑channel meeting between a US negotiator and Yasser Arafat’s team, mentioning a former Shin Bet officer. It hints at personal diplomatic maneuvering and possible Israeli intelligence involvement, but lacks concrete details on dates, outcomes, or financial transactions. The lead is moderately useful for probing informal US‑Israeli‑Palestinian contacts, but its novelty is limited and the controversy is modest. Key insights: US negotiator arranged an informal tea meeting with Arafat in his cabin.; Shin Bet officer Yossi Ginossar facilitated the meeting.; Sandy Berger, the US National Security Adviser, questioned the negotiator’s focus on Chelsea Clinton.
