Marwan Muasher is vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he oversees research in Washington and Beirut on the Middle East. Muasher has served as Jordan’s foreign minister (2002–2004) and deputy prime minister (2004–2005). Diwan interviewed him in late October to get his perspective on the ongoing war in Gaza, what the outcome might be, and whether negotiations are taking place to head off an Israeli invasion of the territory.
