Interests and experience

I mainly research the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in particular on the various diplomatic endeavours ranging from the late 1940s up until today. I have researched and published on various phases in this history.

My book Arab-Israeli Diplomacy under Carter: The U.S., Israel and the Palestinians was published by I.B. Tauris in 2018.

I mainly research the Arab-Israeli conflict with a focus on the various diplomatic endeavours ranging from the late 1940s up until today. A central focus of my research is the lack of Palestinian inclusion in these international approaches to the conflict.

I have researched and published on various phases in this history, including:

  • The UN negotiations following the 1948 war
  • The Zionist movement, and later Israel's, succesful attempt to gain international recognition and UN membership
  • The US lead negotiations during the late 1970s leading to the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty
  • The Obama era initiative to reach Israeli-Palestinian peace
  • The history of US Jerusalem policy
  • Aid policy towards Palestinians
  • UNRWA
  • Photography and the framing of the conflict
