This article in the peer-reviewed Palestine-Israel Journal of Politics, Economics & Culture was written by Daniel Kurtzer, the previous US ambassador to Egypt and Israel. His article is cited as:

Kurtzer analyzes the \u201cnegotiation\u201d tactics of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)\u2019s leader, Yasser Arafat, from the late 1960s until his death in 2004. Arafat used extreme violence to resist Israeli occupation, including attacks on civilians, suicide bombings, and airplane hijackings. Although he did change some of his methods, it was clear that he caused internal damage within the PLO and further resistance from Israel. Kurtzer also questions the motives of Donald Trump regarding a two-state solution and his so-called \u201cultimate plan\u201d. The research question could be posed as, \u201cWhat negative effects did Palestinian leaders\u2019 negotiation tactics have on the PLO and the overall conflict between Israel and Palestine?\u201d Kurtzer used expert knowledge and reports of acts, behaviors, and events as his types of data. In order to collect the data, he used public and private records and ethnography. His method of data analysis is qualitative. I believe this research is credible because it was found in a peer-reviewed journal and was written by a professor who has extensive knowledge about the region. One thing I found that others might find interesting is that because the article was written in July of 2017, Donald Trump\u2019s declaration of the capital of Israel had not yet been publicized. Clearly, Trump does not believe in a two-state solution, which is exactly the point of view that Kurtzer was concerned with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
