Description
The United States has long been involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, yet its role as a broker has consistently thwarted progress towards peace. In "Brokers of Deceit", historian Rashid Khalidi examines three pivotal moments in the conflict, revealing how the US has actively colluded with Israel to prevent a Palestinian state. Khalidi's analysis focuses on the Reagan Plan of 1982, the Madrid Peace Conference negotiations from 1991 to 1993, and President Barack Obama's retreat from plans to halt settlement expansion in the West Bank. Drawing on his own experience as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 pre-Oslo negotiations, Khalidi sheds light on the intricate web of relationships between the US, Israel, and the Palestinians. Through meticulous research and analysis, Khalidi reveals the complex dynamics that have hindered peace in the Middle East, and how the US has often prioritized Israel's interests over a negotiated settlement.
