5. The Conservative Case for Carbon Pricing

In this episode, host Robert Malley and guest Jaser AbuMousa talk about defining moments of Jaser’s life and work in Gaza, how he honors the memory of his wife and sons, and how he finds hope in continuing to work towards peace in the Middle East.

Jaser AbuMousa is a Palestinian political analyst and development specialist from Khan Younis, Gaza. He most recently served as a Program Manager for the Swiss Development Cooperation in the occupied Palestinian territory, where he managed humanitarian projects and authored biweekly reports on Gaza’s political, economic, and humanitarian dynamics. His career spans roles in engineering, social work, and political research, including with UNRWA and the EU-funded ‘Private Sector Reconstruction in Gaza’ program.

In October 2023, Jaser lost his wife Heba and two sons in an airstrike. Following the incident, he and his two surviving children spent over a year in the United Arab Emirates for medical treatment. As a Yale Peace Fellow, Jaser focused on postwar reconstruction strategies that reflect Palestinian priorities and mend Gaza’s torn social fabric.
