Robert Malley: The peace process has served as a screen for the status quo

The article features an interview with Robert Malley, a former Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiator, discussing his new book titled 'Demain c'est hier' (Tomorrow is Yesterday), which was recently published in French. The book, co-authored with Hussein Agha, concludes that the peace process has failed and the two-state solution is dead. They argue that the peace process has served as a cover for the status quo, allowing continued conflict and occupation. The book's title is described as somewhat enigmatic, but its subtitle provides more clarity by highlighting the struggle for peace in Israel/Palestine. The article notes that this work stands out among many publications on the topic, especially in light of recent developments such as the genocide against Gaza and their global repercussions.

A new book by former Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiators Robert Malley and Hussein Agha argues that the two-state solution has died and that the peace process served as a facade for maintaining the status quo. Their work, titled Demain c'est hier (Tomorrow Is Yesterday), was recently published in French and examines the life, death, and pursuit of peace in Israel and Palestine. The authors claim that the Oslo peace process, which began in the 1990s, failed to achieve its goal of ending the conflict through negotiations. They argue that neither Israelis nor Palestinians were ever close to reaching a final agreement. The book comes amid ongoing violence and regional instability following the October 7 attacks on Israel. Malley and Agha, who have been deeply involved in peace talks, suggest that the peace process did not lead to meaningful progress but instead masked deeper divisions. They describe the situation as having reached a point where the existing framework can no longer function. Their analysis challenges conventional views about the potential for reconciliation between the two sides. The book has drawn attention for its direct critique of past efforts to resolve the conflict. The publication follows a period marked by increased hostility and a lack of diplomatic breakthroughs. The authors call for a rethinking of approaches to address the ongoing crisis.

Bias read (Progressive): The framing leans left by emphasizing the failure of the two-state solution and suggesting that the peace process was never realistically achievable. The focus on the collapse of the Oslo process and the implication that the current state of affairs represents a definitive end to peaceful resolution
