"Newly-released documents show Palestinian negotiators agreed to give up large tracts of West Bank land, and nearly all of East Jerusalem, in peace talks with the Israeli government. The disclosure is among many contained in what is being called the 'Palestine Papers'—over 1,700 files from inside Israeli-Palestinian negotiations dating from 1999 to 2010. The news network Al Jazeera began publishing details of the documents on Sunday. We speak with Columbia University professor, Rashid Khalidi.

Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University’s Department of History and the author of several books, including "Sowing Crisis: American Dominance" and the "Cold War in the Middle East and Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood."
