Practice which involves a third party carrying on negotiations among the two principals of a dispute so that they never directly confront each other. This process usually entails considerable travelling (shuttling) by the intermediary. The term was originally used to describe US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s efforts to mediate for a peace agreement between Israel and Syria and Israel and Egypt after the Yom Kippur War.
