Born in Jerusalem in 1953,[1] Savir studied International Relations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he gained a BA. He went on to work as an administrator,[1] and served general manager of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[2] Between 1993 and 1996 he was the Chief Negotiator of the Oslo Accords.
