Since October 7, 2023, the Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, and other Middle Eastern nations have struggled using threats, weaponry, and words to determine appropriate and sustainable solutions wherein nations that express the goal of destroying components of one another can exist side-by-side. Dr. Natan Sachs is the Director at the Center for Middle East Policy and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute. Dr. Sachs is widely respected as an honest broker in assessing the players in the region and recommending policies that promote more peaceful and just relationships. Dr. Sachs is regularly asked to present testimony to Congressional committees. Additionally, Sachs offers expert commentary to The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and other publications. He regularly appears on CNN, Fox News, the BBC, and Bloomberg, among others. Sachs envisions the elements of the American plan for aid to Gaza, coupled with a concerted effort to work with secular Palestinian actors to reconstruct the Gaza Strip and rebuild the people’s trust. His forthcoming book recommends policies for promoting a more peaceful and just relationship among Israelis and Palestinians. The future of peace in the Middle East may well depend on the wisdom of thinkers like Natan Sachs. LEARN MORE
