  Dennis Ross: Academician Turned Adaptable Diplomat
For Ross, in addition to having been the chief deputy of Baker, who was regarded by the Likud government of the time as anti-Israeli, was regarded as having all but campaigned for Netanyahu's opponent, Shimon Peres, in the last Israeli election.
Ross and his deputy, Aaron Miller, have also pushed Netanyahu toward an acceptance of the Oslo accords negotiated by Peres and Yitzhak Rabin, the Labor prime minister who was assassinated in October 1995.
Dennis B. Ross (the B. is said to not stand for anything, like the S. in Harry S. Truman), was born in San Francisco on Nov. 26, 1948.

Ross confirms that Barak offered Arafat all of Gaza, a net of 97 percent of the West Bank, 2 percent of pre-1967 Israel, and a capital in east Jerusalem.
Ross says Arafat was offered a "Right of Return" for refugees to the nascent Palestinian state and $30 Billion fund to compensate refugees, and Arafat turned it all down, against the pleadings of his own Palestinian advisors.
ROSS: He supposed to give, on Jerusalem, the idea that there would be for the Israelis sovereignty over the Western Wall, which would cover the areas that are of religious significance to Israel.

Ross had served as President Bill Clinton’s Middle East envoy, and had been with Clinton at the Wye River and Camp David summits in 1998 and 2000, respectively, the last occasions at which fundamental peace accords between Israel and the Palestinians seemed within reach.
ROSS: Originally I was going to write the book only about negotiation and mediation, but the more I saw what was happening in foreign policy, the more concerned I became that the problem wasn’t just about the formulation of goals, but also about inept implementation.
ROSS: Neoliberalism means that we have to be engaged in the world and that force is an instrument that has to be used at times.

 Goodbye to Dennis Ross
Dennis Ross, the Senior US Coordinator of the Arab-Israeli peace process, has announced that he plans to retire from government service at the end of the Clinton Administration next January 20.
Dennis Ross’s role in the history of this past decade is obviously not as visible or as towering as that of Henry Kissinger who, in the first half of the 1970s, first as National Security Adviser and then as Secretary of State, shaped America’s relations with the Middle East to Israel’s advantage.
Dennis Ross is evidently not as powerful as Madeleine Albright, the Secretary of State, or Sam Berger, the National Security Adviser.

 The Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations :: Iraq Options Debated by UCLA Panel   (Site not responding. Last check: )
While critical of President Bush's handling of the current crisis, Ross was the firmest among the panelists in insisting that Saddam Hussein constitutes a real menace in the region and that this is not an invention of Washington politicians.
Ross said that Saddam is on the verge of a nuclear capability and that in the current post-9-11 climate of terrorist attacks on the United States and its citizens abroad that these would be used if Saddam is not disarmed quickly.
Dennis Ross argued that even if casualties proved to be very high now, that they would be enormously higher later if we waited until after Saddam had acquired atom bombs.

 The Missing Peace by Dennis Ross: Reviews
Ross, the chief Middle East peace negotiator in the presidential administrations of George H. Bush and Bill Clinton, recounts the peace process in detail from 1988 to the breakdown of talks in early 2001 that prompted the so-called second Intifada.
Ross leaves nothing unturned, but due to his zeal to present a complete picture, the narrative sometimes loses momentum and takes on the baggy formlessness of journal entries.
Ross, for his part, remains ''a believer in U.S. engagement in Middle East peacemaking,'' though he never convincingly explains why this would work any better now than it did a few years ago.

ROSS: Well, you're--it's the contrast between what I would call the First World and the Third or Fourth World, a society that reflects what I would say is a reality of a very modern life vs. what is a much more dilapidated setting: teeming buildings, five-story apartments.

 Martin Krosell on Dennis Ross on National Review Online
Ross admits, "At no time during the Oslo process were those who carried out acts of terror against Israelis treated as enemies of the cause by the Palestinian leadership.
Ross explains away this inconsistency by insisting that before the Camp David summit in the summer of 2000 he believed that the "peace process" was making progress, because Yasser Arafat and the PLO had made a real commitment to ending the conflict with Israel.
Ross probably had enough influence to get the Clinton administration to change course; but even if he didn't, he had a moral responsibility to resign, and maybe even publicly to articulate the reasons for his resignation.

Dennis Ross has more than two decades of experience in Soviet and Middle East policy.
Ross: I think the way you respond is by saying we have one administration at a time.
Ross: I think it's a mistake to establish that as a principle, because as I said one of the things they'll end up doing when you're talking about different states, you'll end up making us the issue internationally, rather than a state whose behavior is outrageous.

 Rootless Cosmopolitan - By Tony Karon » Blog Archive » The Dissembling of Dennis Ross
Dennis, you know very well that Hamas is not Hizballah; its ideological orientation comes from the Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the Sunni Arab countries; its ties with Iran are secondary, although it is happy to get Tehran’s support.
Ross claims that “creating new institutions in the PA will inevitably build the credibility of the PA and, by extension, the credibility of Fatah.” Uh, Dennis… You can’t build the PA’s institutions while ignoring its legal and democratically elected government.
What Dennis Ross is advocating is a strategy that repeats all of the worst mistakes of the past decade of U.S. policy in the Middle East, and is bound to fail.

As Rice picks up where Ross left off, he warns her that "in Middle Eastern terms," it is not logical or possible these days to push for anything more than an end to Palestinian infighting and calm between Israelis and Palestinians.
Ross says that talks on core issues should be "designed to pursue the vision that Olmert originally campaigned on"--no matter that that vision, though proposing a substantial withdrawal, is vague in its terms and unilateral in its approach.

 Dennis Ross Confesses
One well-known part of the truth is that he and his colleagues have been nourishing the legend that all that's needed for Arafat to make peace is that Israel make major surrenders of territory, jeopardize its security and blot out the testimony of Jewish history.
The other part of the truth is that Ross and his colleagues in the State Department have got it all wrong.
Ross did not mention that the Israeli dupes, disregarding all warnings from within Israel, had given Arafat thousands of rifles because he undertook to use them against the murderers.

 ei: Dennis Ross' curious maps problem
Dennis Ross's ["Don't Play With Maps," 9 January 2007, The New York Times] concern over President Carter's use of maps in Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid is curious.
Ross, understandably for one perpetuating a myth, makes no mention of key features of the "generous" proposal he pretends was offered.
Ross also fails to mention either Israel's intention to retain control of many water resources in the West Bank or its plan to annex large blocks of territory -- illegally settled -- in such a way as to leave a Palestine only barely contiguous, if at all.
