In the peace process as it has been conducted up to now, the Israelis always wanted to concentrate on the issues of 1967 – that is, land and security. The Palestinians, however, always wanted to return to the issues of 1948: refugees, dispersion, and what Akram Hanya, a close Arafat confidant, defined as the need “to make the Israelis face the tribunal of history.”
在迄今为止的和平进程中，以色列人一直希望重点关注以土地和安全问题为代表的1967年事务。而巴勒斯坦人则一直希望回到1948年的问题：也就是难民、离散、和阿拉法特的心腹知己Akram Hanya所描述的必须“让以色列人面对历史的审判”。
