This book argues that the failure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is mainly because of the failure of both sides to reach an agreed formula for linking justice to peace. The argument offered here will be examined in the following way: first, a theoretical discussion will be presented on the concept of justice, the link between justice and peace as a necessary condition or as a possible barrier to achievement of peace, and the link between historical narratives, on the one hand, and peace and justice, on the other hand. Then an empirical discussion will be presented, focusing on examination of the narratives of justice and injustice as were presented by the two parties in the Oslo process, since its beginning in Oslo (1993) until Taba (2001), and then in the Annapolis process (2008), as well as, in the second track of talks: the Ayalon-Nusseibeh Initiative and the Geneva Initiative. At the final section of the book, an attempt is made to look for solutions for balancing the gaps between peace and justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
