While many have looked into the effect of U.S. foreign policy on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in general, the role of U.S. policy in internal Palestinian politics and the current divide between the two largest parties in the Palestinian political spectrum has been under discussed. What role has U.S. policy played in the inter-Palestinian divide? Does this help or hurt the long-term stated goal of American policy? Is it time for the U.S. to reevaluate its policy based on these effects? Professor Nathan Brown* spoke at the Palestine Center on this issue.

Brown (born c. 1960), a professor of Political Science and International Affairs and director of the Institute for Middle East Studies at George Washington University, is a scholar of Palestinian and Egyptian law and politics.
