Following his death on Dec. 29th, 2024, President Jimmy Carter received accolades for his many achievements, among them his key role in the 1978 Camp David peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. But little attention has been paid to President Carter's efforts to make peace between Israelis and the Palestinians despite the ongoing war in Gaza. An international human rights lawyer and the executive director of the Christian Palestinian organization Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA), Jonathan Kuttab met Carter on several occasions. He talks about Carter's advocacy for Palestinians, the president's controversial 2006 book “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid,” his meeting with Hamas leaders and his views on the pernicious role of the pro-Israel lobby.
