Abstract
An unusual summit between Israelis and Palestinians took place 15 months ago at an unnamed gas station along Route 1 between Jericho and Jerusalem, in the West Bank. The "diplomats" were engineers and software designers from Global Hosted Operating System, or G.ho.st, the first-ever hightech Israeli-Palestinian joint venture. The gas station was a place where employees from its offices in Ramallah, in the Palestinian National Authority, and Modi\´in, Israel, could meet without getting permits or waiting in long lines to cross the border.
