Tony Klug

Dr Tony Klug has written extensively about Israeli-Palestinian issues since the early 1970s, when he first proposed the two-state idea. His doctoral thesis was on the initial stages of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. He has been a senior advisor on the Middle East to the Oxford Research Group and a consultant to the Palestine Strategy Group and the Israel Strategic Forum. For many years he worked at Amnesty International, where he headed the international development program.

We must seize the opportunity to establish two viable states before it is too late.
How Peace Broke Out in the Middle East: A Short History of the Future
