From Oslo to Gaza: Mideast Peace Negotiator Rob Malley on the Revenge of History

Longtime Mideast peace negotiator Robert Malley talks about his and Hussein Agha's recently published book, Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine. Malley discusses  how diplomatic illusions, blunders and deceptions undermined the Oslo Accords signed in 1993, created an endless, unproductive peace process and led to the atrocities of Oct. 7 and Israel's calamitous war on Gaza. The book's title refers to the authors' contention that Oct. 7th and Israel's subsequent onslaught on Gaza represented not a rupture with the past but a re-enactment of it. Malley served as a senior advisor to Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden and president of the International Crisis Group. He is now at Yale University's Jackson School of Global Affairs.
