Robert B. Satloff is an American historian[1][2][3] on Arab and Islamic politics, U.S.-Israel relations, and the Middle East. Since January 1993, he has been the executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP). Satloff is also a member of the board of editors of the Middle East Quarterly, a publication of the Middle East Forum.

Early life

[edit]

Satloff is from Providence, Rhode Island.[4] and graduated from Duke University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. He received a Master of Arts degree from Harvard University and a PhD from St. Antony's College, Oxford.

Writing career

[edit]

Satloff has authored or edited nine books. His writing has appeared in newspapers such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.

In 2006, Satloff wrote Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands,[5] which asserted that some Muslims and Arabs rescued potential victims of the Holocaust as well as those who collaborated in those programs.[clarification needed] He claimed that no Arab had been honored saving Jews during the Holocaust and explored reasons why.[6][importance?] Norman Stillman described the book as a "well-balanced assessment" of the experience of Moroccan Jews during World War II.[7] It was also reviewed by the Jewish Book Council.[8] In 2010, American broadcaster PBS released "Among the Righteous," a documentary based on Satloff's book.[2]

Satloff has also provided commentary for news programs and talk shows, as well as National Public Radio. Satloff hosts a program on an Arab satellite channel: he is the creator and host of Dakhil Washington (Inside Washington), a weekly news and interview program on al-Hurra, the U.S. government-sponsored Arabic satellite television channel.

Personal life

[edit]

Satloff lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with his wife, Jennie Litvack, an economist and horn player, and three sons, Benjamin, William and David.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Satloff has been described as "a longtime expert on Arab and Islamic politics".[8][4] In 2023, the Washingtonian magazine named him one of the 500 most influential people in Washington, D.C.[4]
