Obama Hires Mideast
Advisor Who Quit '08 Campaign over Hamas Meetings

Robert Malley, a
Middle East scholar who resigned from his advisory role in Barack Obama's 2008
campaign when it was revealed he had met with the Palestinian terror group
Hamas, has been appointed by the president to be a senior director at the White
House's National Security Council,
overseeing the administration's Middle East policy. The appointment does not
require former Senate confirmation.
The left-wing Israeli daily
Ha'aretz reports that Malley, who also worked in the Clinton White House, was controversial because of "an article,
co-written with Hussein Agha, that argued that some of the blame for the
failure of the Camp David talks lay with the Israeli leader at the time, Ehud
Barak, and not just with the uncompromising position of the Palestinian leader,
Yasir Arafat, which was the conventional wisdom then."
However, that is not the reason
Malley's work with the Obama campaign became a topic of scrutiny in 2008. As
NBC's Andrea Mitchell reported in
May 2008, Malley decided to disassociate himself from the campaign after his
meetings with Hamas, in his work for the International
Crisis Group think tank, came to
light. Later, Hamas claimed to have met secretly with senior advisers to the
Obama campaign during the campaign itself.
Moreover, in a lecture in 2007 at Harvard University,
Malley criticized the Bush administration for discouraging Israel from talking with Syria's Bashar
al-Assad, describing Assad as genuinely interested in peace. Malley also
attacked the "Israel
lobby," and argued that Hamas had become more moderate since taking
power in Palestinian elections, and that the U.S.
should follow Europe's lead and engage with
Hamas leaders.
