Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Ed Djerejian says Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin once told him “There is no military solution to this conflict, only a political one.” Rabin was assassinated a few years later and today bullets are flying, bombs are falling, and 1,200 Israelis are dead after the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7 and nearly 30,000 Gazans have been killed in the Israeli response. Yet Djerejain still believes that a breakthrough is possible even in the current moment, as horrible as it is. Djerejian, a senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Relations, says the crisis has shaken the regional status quo to the point where—if the United States pursues diplomacy that includes principled pragmatism, coalition-building, and good old- fashioned backbone—a breakthrough may finally be possible. But in a recent paper he argues that any breakthrough will have to be built around a two-state solution, which he says is the only path to peace and stability not only in Israel and Palestine, but the wider Middle East. Djerejian's career as a diplomat spanned eight U.S. presidential administrations beginning with John F. Kennedy's, and he also served as U.S. Ambassador to Syria and Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. Ed Djerejian's Policy Recommendations:The U.S. should stake out a strong, principled position on a two-state solution based on land for peace.The U.S. should build a broad multinational coalition around its diplomacy in the region.U.S. leaders and diplomats should make American national security interests clear, both globally and in the region.Ambassador (Ret.)

He is the author of “Danger and Opportunity: An American Ambassador's Journey Through the Middle East.” He recently completed a nearly 30-year tenure as founding director of Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Somewhere between a new Administration, the lead Iranian nuclear scientist being killed, and an ongoing OPEC meeting, we were hungry this week for Middle Eastern and Washington insights. We were so lucky as we found our good friend Ambassador Edward Djerejian of Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy to help us sift through the issue.Ambassador Djerejian served 8 presidents from John F. Kennedy to Bill Clinton during his career in the U.S. Foreign Service. He was also a former ambassador to Israel and Syria, stationed in the USSR during the Cold War and previously chaired the Advisory Group on Public Diplomacy in the Arab and Muslim World. We touched on everything from the Arab Spring, the Iranian Nuclear deal, the Russians, the Chinese, why Syria matters more than you think, and a whole range of issues in between. The chessboard that the new Administration faces drove much of the conversation. In our discussion, we were of course listening carefully for clues on which way oil could be headed. We kicked off the discussion with our usual COBT Team: Mike Bradley gave us market perspective on OPEC and oil and stock prices, Matt Portillo provided the latest natural gas macro outlook from the TPH Research Team, and Colin Fenton gave an OPEC production and production quota pregame ahead of the Ambassador Djerejian discussion. We also had a special appearance from Deanna Zhang, a Director on our TPH Energy Tech team to preview our fourth Energy Disruption Conference [D4: Rebellion] happening next week. The conference is a virtual 360 degree immersive format kicking off in Houston on Monday, Dec. 7th followed by Denver on Wednesday, Dec. 9th and closing out in Boston on Friday, December 11th. Please join us for D4: Rebellion. Click the link for details or locate more information below. We also want to congratulate Deanna today on being named a Forbes' "30 Under 30" up and comer in Energy. Way to go Deanna! We are so very proud of you! So we had a lot happening today. We are sure you will enjoy it all. The Ambassador was fantastic.----------Copyright 2020, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

"I looked at these images and I thought, what's this about? I had very faint memories about it and so in order to sort of fill in the gaps, I wrote to people and asked them what they remembered about evacuating Beirut…I thought how am I going to make sense of this, what am I going to do with this text…" Madeline Djerejian is a fascinating artist whose work brings together photography, literature, and writing in a very unique way.

Djerejian, Director of the Baker Institute, discusses the institute’s evolution and the institute’s 25th anniversary.  This is the final episode of this season of Policy Matters.
