After reading "Oslo", I specially read "History of Israel", there are some differences between the two.
"Oslo": A woman and a man, a Norwegian couple, love peace, and use their personal connections to bring Palestine and Israel to the negotiating table.
"History of Israel": The woman is a member of the Palestinian negotiating delegation, and the man is a Norwegian scientist. The book does not explain how the two had this idea and how they cooperated to bring about this, nor did it say that the two were a couple. Both the woman and the man knew an Israeli professor and the PLO finance minister, and both of them were interested in meeting, rather than reluctantly like the two in the film. At that time, the social situation in Israel: Talking with the Palestinian side had become a relatively common opinion among the people, but it had not yet emerged in the public opinion. The Israeli representative who appeared in the second half was the director of the Office of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Both sides are willing to talk, so it's hard for me to imagine that the antagonistic atmosphere in the talks that the film shows is so sharp.
I saw a short comment asking: What's with Norway? Take care of this (to the point). Here's an answer: You don't understand the feelings of Westerners.
