Paperback, 208 pages
9780807033241
Ā
An examination of the failure of the United States as a broker in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, through three key historical momentsĀ
Ā
For more than seven decades the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people has raged on with no end in sight, and for much of that time, the United States has been involved as a mediator in the conflict. In this book, acclaimed historian Rashid Khalidi zeroes in on the United Statesā role as the purported impartial broker in this failed peace process.
Ā
Khalidi closely analyses three historical moments that illuminate how the United Statesā involvement has, in fact, thwarted progress toward peace between Israel and Palestine. The first moment he investigates is the āReagan Planā of 1982, when Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin refused to accept the Reagan administrationās proposal to reframe the Camp David Accords more impartially. The second moment covers the period after the Madrid Peace Conference, from 1991 to 1993, during which negotiations between Israel and Palestine were brokered by the United States until the signing of the secretly negotiated Oslo accords. Finally, Khalidi takes on President Barack Obamaās retreat from plans to insist on halting the settlements in the West Bank.
Ā
Through in-depth research into and keen analysis of these three moments, as well as his own firsthand experience as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 preāOslo negotiations in Washington, DC, Khalidi reveals how the United States and Israel have actively colluded to prevent a Palestinian state and resolve the situation in Israelās favour. Brokers of Deceit bares the truth about why peace in the Middle East has been impossible to achieve: for decades, US policymakers have masqueraded as unbiased agents working to bring the two sides together, when they have, in fact, been the agents of continuing injustice, effectively preventing the difficult but essential steps needed to achieve peace in the region.
