Gidi Grinstein has spent most of his career promoting Israeli-Palestinian
and regional peace in the Middle East. In his recent book (In)Sights:
Peacemaking in the Oslo Process thirty Years and Counting, Grinstein
illuminates systemic issues relating to the failed efforts to arrive at a two-
state solution. Ambassador Dennis Ross, a frequent guest on America at a
Crossroads, and longtime US Special Middle East Coordinator, described
(in)Sights as the single best book on understanding the issues …
illuminating new dimensions” and said it was an “essential [read] for future
US peace intervention.”

Since October 7, America at a Crossroads has invited a variety of veteran
diplomats, journalists, and scholars to provide occasional briefings about
the situation in the Middle East, focusing on the hostages, the Gaza War,
and on US engagement and diplomacy in the region.

On September 16, Gidi Grinstein, a foremost expert on Israeli-Palestinian
relations, the Oslo Process and the Permanent Status Agreement, will be
joining America at a Crossroads to provide our 17 th Israel in Crisis a briefing
since the heinous attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Grinstein will discuss the status and progress of hostage and cease fire
negotiations and his views on what the future holds in terms of Israeli
Palestinian relations.
