A conversation with Robert Malley about Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank, why the US failed to bring peace to the region, and his recent book Tomorrow Is Yesterday.
Robert Malley and Hussein Agha have spent a lifetime immersed in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Agha has been involved for decades in negotiations and efforts to resolve the conflict, while Malley was an adviser to a number of US presidents.
Both men participated in the Camp David talks in 2000 that ultimately failed to produce a Palestinian state; the Second Intifada began soon after. The collapse of Camp David saw the Israeli and American camps blame the Palestinians for the failure—in particular, Yasir Arafat was described as being conniving and intransigent.
