How were the Palestinians excluded from peace negotiations during the 1940s, the 1970s, and the 2000s? Henrik Syse, Kristoffer Liden, and historian Dr. Jorgen Jensehaugen from the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) outline the role of mediator gatekeeping in the exclusion of Palestinians as a people, a political unit, and a spoiler group.
Dr. Jensehaugen explores what it means to be a weak mediator, a mediator with reduced leverage and little room for maneuvering.
