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
