Shuttle Diplomacy /Mediated Communication. Available at: http://www.colorado.edu/conflict/peace/treatment/shuttle.htm [Backup Link] When hostility between parties reaches the point where they refuse to talk to each other, communication can often be re-established by a mutually-trusted third party who shuttles back and forth between opposing sides carrying messages.

The surprise of the attack, and the strength of the Arab assault, led the international community to reassess the stability of the Middle East. Israel recovered militarily, but its leaders understood they needed to enter negotiations with the Arabs. This began the era of shuttle diplomacy and a succession of peace processes. |
