A Times interview/profile of Israeli President Shimon Peres includes the following passage:
On Sunday, as Mr. Netanyahu lambasted the Palestinian leader for his "partnership" with Hamas, Mr. Peres and Mr. Abbas were shaking hands in a Vatican garden. It had been 21 years since his handshake on the White House lawn with Yasir Arafat after the signing of the Oslo Accords. That handshake led to a shared Nobel Peace Prize. Yet peace is hardly on the horizon.
The famous Arafat White House lawn handshake was not between Arafat and Mr. Peres but between Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, who also got a Nobel prize but who is strangely airbrushed out of this Times account. If Mr. Peres and Mr. Arafat shook hands on the White House lawn, no one paid much attention at the time; the Times coverage of the day made no mention of it.
