![]() ![]() I feel the situation today is more like a colossal failure of all the stakeholders, but mainly Israel, given that it is the controlling party between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River. It makes it sound like we were on a road trip together and got lost, and all that we need to focus on now is in which direction to keep driving. So, I’ve been asked to start our conversation by addressing the question, “Realistically, where do Palestinians and Israelis go from here?” To be honest, even this seemingly innocent question is provocative. During those years of large-scale projects, I attended the joint MBA program at Tel Aviv University, in partnership with Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. ![]() ![]() Since then, I also led the establishment of the first large-scale shopping center and supermarket chain here. I decided to relocate after the Oslo accords were signed to be part of the establishment of Palestine’s first telecommunications company, Paltel. I relocated to Palestine in 1995 with my wife and our first daughter - we have two now - from Youngstown, Ohio. I own and operate a management consulting firm in Ramallah, Applied Information Management (AIM). What a timely topic, especially as it applies to Palestine/Israel these days. I see you have a newly published book out in the U.S. I know you work in Tel Aviv in media and have done amazing work over the years. I assume you know the location it is where the Israeli military headquarters for the West Bank and the Israeli settlement of Beit El are located. We live in my ancestral home in al-Bireh, the sister city of Ramallah. is in our region, for better or for worse.īefore jumping into our conversation, I want to ask if you and your family are all physically okay after these two difficult weeks? Where exactly do you reside? My wife and I are fine, physically that is. Maybe that is a confirmation of how deeply involved the U.S. organizations even though we live less than an hour apart from one another. It is so ironic that I meet so many Israelis by way of U.S. Glad to make your acquaintance via The Washington Post. ![]()
