Robert Malley
Robert Malley is an American international relations specialist, with the Middle East as the major area of expertise. He was a special assistant to President Clinton for Arab-Israeli Affairs. Malley was highly involved in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and played an important role in the 2000 Camp David Summit.
Robert Malley's professional background, as presented at the International Crisis Group website:
- Special Assistant to President Clinton for Arab-Israeli Affairs, 1998-2001
- Executive Assistant to Samuel R. Berger, National Security Advisor, 1996-1998
- Director for Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs, National Security Council, 1994-1996
After his service with the Clinton administration, Malley took the position of Program Director for Middle East and North Africa at the International Crisis Group.
Robert Malley has argued against the interpretation of the 2000 Camp David Summit that puts the blame on Yasser Arafat. In Malley's analysis, both Ehud Barak's tactics and the substance of his proposal made Arafat's acceptance of it almost impossible.[1]
Malley is decisively on the "diplomacy side" in the argument about the US policies in the Middle East.
