Husam Zomlot
The Diplomat
People, composure and the difficult conversation held well.
Husam Zomlot reads as The Diplomat through his sustained commitment to multilateral legitimacy as the primary instrument of Palestinian liberation. Every dimension of the conflict, accountability, statehood, security, extremism, he frames within the architecture of international law and institutions, consistently choosing systemic persuasion over military alternatives. His characterisation of the two-state solution as a Palestinian concession rather than a demand captures the diplomat's discipline, absorbing pressure while holding the institutional line.
“The two state solution was a Palestinian concession. Many people think it is a Palestinian demand. May I correct this?”
“Either we build our own military capability, or we revert to multilateralism and international judicial system. Which one I prefer? The second.”
“We will not establish a state as a function of what Israel wants. We will establish a state as a function of what the Palestinian people want and deserve.”
