What Now?

Hussein Agha and Rob Malley on the Ceasefire Deal

Share

Our guests are former PLO negotiator, Hussein Agha and former Clinton, Obama and Biden administration official, Rob Malley. We talk about their new book, Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine, what they’ve learned from decades of seeing Israeli, Palestinian, and American policy from the inside, and what they think about the Trump ceasefire deal.

Topics include:

  • The strength of the Palestinian national struggle today as compared with the past

  • Whether Palestinians could have done things differently to be more effective

  • Whether the new agreement is a kind of victory for Israel

  • Comparing Hamas and Fatah

  • The weakness of the Democratic Party and how they’re seen by Palestinians

  • What might be achieved by a US leadership that was tough on Israel
