Guy Ziv: "Is Israeli-Palestinian Peace Possible?"

Guy Ziv comes to Duke for a conversation about his new book, Netanyahu vs The Generals: The Battle for Israel's Future (Cambridge UP, 2024) and the feasibility of a two-state solution.

Dr. Guy Ziv is an associate professor in the School of International Service's U.S. Foreign Policy Program. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses on U.S. foreign policy, international negotiations, U.S.-Israel relations, and Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking. His research focuses on foreign policy decision-making, the role of political elites in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and civil-military relations in Israel. His written works on the impact of Israel's nuclear policy on U.S.-Israel relations; Israel's strategic partnership with France in the 1950s; learning in foreign policy; and the role of leaders' personalities in foreign policy change have been published in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. His op-eds have appeared in both American and Israeli newspapers, such as The Baltimore Sun, CNN.com, Forward, Haaretz, The Jerusalem Post, Newsday, The Philadelphia Inquirer, La Razon, USA Today, and Ynet News, and he blogs for The Hill and The Huffington Post. He also appears frequently as a commentator in major media outlets including Al Araby, Al Jazeera, BBC, Bloomberg TV, CGTN America, CNN, CTV News, i24 News, MSNBC, NPR, Sky News, TRT World, Voice of America (VOA), and ZDF German Television.

Dr. Ziv has a background in policy, having worked at the U.S. Department of State, on Capitol Hill, and for leading non-profit organizations that promote American involvement in Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.
