Nusseibeh, Sari
(1949- ) A Palestinian political and intellectual intellectual figure. Politically, he served in several positions within Fatah and most recently as the Palestinian Liberation Organization representative in Jerusalem in 2002. Currently, Nusseibeh is a professor and President of Al Quds University. He has proposed several peace agreements, such as the People’s Voice Initiative - a grassroots initiative to support a two-state solution - that he co-authored with former Israeli security head Ami Ayalon in 2002. In 2010, Nusseibeh publicly stated that, due to the reality of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, he believed a two-state solution to be almost impossible.
