Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, President Clinton and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, pose for photographers before the start of their trilateral meeting in the U.S. Embassy residence in Oslo, Norway, November 2, 1999. In a Middle East summit that ended that night in Oslo, Barak and Arafat promised Clinton they will work hard to formulate the broad outlines of a peace treaty by February 2000, holding frequent one-on-one talks once they return home.
