Mitchell Report
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mitchell Report was a document created by an American fact-finding committee on the state of the Arab-Israeli conflict during the first stages of the al-Aqsa Intifada led by former US Senator George J. Mitchell. It was published on April 30, 2001.
In order to get the Israeli-Palestinian peace process back on track after the failure of the Camp David 2000 Summit,
"the committee called for action in three phases: 1) an immediate cessation of all violence, 2) rebuilding confidence by a full-scale effort by the Palestinian Authority to prevent Terrorism, the freezing of Israeli settlement activity, ... and other confidence-building measures, and 3)resumption of negotiations. Although the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority accepted the report's conclusions, with some reservations, they failed to implement the findings and Palestinian terror and violence [continued] unabated (Eran, 146)."
