The Middle East Institute and the Foundation for Middle East Peace are pleased to welcome Sari Nusseibeh, a prominent Palestinian educator, political leader, writer, and intellectual who has been deeply involved in the Palestinian national cause for decades. Educated at Oxford and Harvard, he is a leading advocate of a two-state peace in which both Palestinians and Israelis can fulfill their national aspirations in peace and dignity. He and former Israeli security chief Ami Ayalon cosponsored a two state peace initiative in 2003 that gained hundreds of thousands of Israeli and Palestinian signatures.
Dr. Nusseibeh will discuss his life and work, and his acclaimed new memoir, "Once Upon a Country, a Palestinian Life," published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Copies will available for purchase following the presentation.
