No Deal This Century?
Carnegie’s Marwan Muasher discusses the possible U.S. plan to achieve a Palestinian-Israeli settlement.
By Ghida Tayara
Published on Jul 24, 2019
Marwan Muasher is the vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he oversees research on the Middle East. He is a former Jordanian foreign minister and deputy prime minister. Muasher has also authored two books, The Arab Center: The Promise of Moderation (Yale University Press, 2009) and The Second Arab Awakening: And the Battle for Pluralism (Yale University Press, 2015). Diwan met with him in late July to get his views on the Trump administration’s plan for Palestinian-Israeli peace, many of whose aspects are known and have generated controversy as well as widespread rejection in the Arab world.
