Amid discussion of a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Rice University’s David Satterfield, former U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues, is available to discuss the situation as it unfolds.
Satterfield, director of the Baker Institute for Public Policy and head of the institute’s Edward P. Djerejian Center for the Middle East, has more than four decades of diplomatic and leadership experience. From October 2023 to May 2024, President Joe Biden appointed him U.S. special envoy for Middle East humanitarian issues to lead U.S. diplomacy in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Previously he also served as special envoy for the Horn of Africa, assistant secretary of state, National Security Council staff director, ambassador to Lebanon and Turkey and chargé d’affaires in Iraq and Egypt.
