Challenges to Peace
The Situation in Palestine, and the Prospects for a Negotiated Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Featuring:
Wassim Khazmo
Communications Advisor for the PLO Negotiations Support Unit (NSU)
He joined the NSU in 2005 having previously worked at the Orient House’s International Affairs Department as a Political Officer and Youth Projects Manager. He holds a B.A. in Business Administration from Birzeit University and MA in International Studies and Diplomacy from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
The Negotiations Support Unit (NSU) was established in 1999 as a project of PLO’s Negotiations Affairs Department (NAD). The purpose of the Negotiations Support Project is to provide highly professional legal, policy and communications advice to the NAD and Palestinian negotiators in preparation for, and during, Permanent Status negotiations with Israel. Following the collapse of formal negotiations at the outset of 2001, an additional purpose of the project is to encourage the resumption of Permanent Status negotiations by contributing to a variety of diplomatic initiatives aimed at bringing the two sides back together.
