Afif Safieh’s -The Peace Process from Breakthrough to Breakdown- provides a first-hand record of the evolution of Palestinian diplomacy spanning three decades, written by Palestine's most senior diplomat. The book brings together the articles, letters, and interviews Safieh produced during his years as Palestinian general delegate from 1990 to 2009 (London, Washington, Moscow). His writings give an account of the Palestinian struggle for independence from one of the movement’s most central figures.

Safieh will present his book, followed by a discussion of the future of Palestine and the peace process.
