Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy

Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy refers to the diplomatic strategy Henry Kissinger used in the 1970s, where he personally traveled between countries—in particular, Israel, Egypt, and Syria—to negotiate peace and resolve conflicts. Rather than conducting negotiations in a single location or through official channels, he "shuttled" back and forth, relaying messages, clarifying positions, and building trust. This hands-on approach helped facilitate agreements, such as the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, by managing sensitive issues directly and steadily guiding the parties toward resolution.
