Yezid Sayigh is a senior fellow at the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut. His work focuses on the comparative political and economic roles of Arab armed forces and nonstate actors, the impact of war on states and societies, and the politics of post-conflict reconstruction and security sector transformation in Arab transitions, and authoritarian resurgence. Sayigh was also an adviser, negotiator, and policy planner in the Palestinian delegation to the peace talks with Israel in 1991–2002 and advised on Palestinian public institutional reform until 2006. He is the author of the award-winning Armed Struggle and the Search for State: The Palestinian National Movement, 1949–1993 (Oxford, 1997). In early October, Diwan interviewed Sayigh to ask him about President Donald Trump’s plan to bring the conflict in Gaza to an end, whose fate is currently uncertain.
