Compromised peace? Oslo Accords figure deeply linked to Epstein network

AI Summary
Terje Rod-Larsen, a key architect of the 1993 Oslo Accords, is facing allegations of corruption and blackmail after new documents revealed his involvement with late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Rod-Larsen facilitated visas for Epstein's victims and was listed as a beneficiary in Epstein's will worth millions of dollars. The Norwegian diplomat used his position as president of the International Peace Institute to launder the reputation of Epstein's associates, including writing official letters of recommendation for young Russian women allegedly trafficked by Epstein. The allegations have led to Rod-Larsen's wife resigning from her post and having her security clearance revoked. Palestinian leaders are questioning whether the Oslo Accords were brokered by a mediator vulnerable to elite blackmail and foreign intelligence pressure. The scandal has sent shockwaves through the diplomatic community, prompting investigations into the role of blackmailed diplomats in shaping international agreements.
