According to Al-Majlah, these talks were accompanied by fluctuations many times. Intermittent progress gave way to sudden setbacks. Sometimes the invitation to the meetings was canceled only a few hours before the beginning, and some long meetings ended suddenly by leaving the negotiating table, A situation that, according to informed sources, caused the obvious dissatisfaction of Washington. In some cases, Tom Barak would attend the negotiations and then leave the meeting; For example, in July, after leaving a meeting in Damascus, he met Mazloum Abdi in Amman.
