Friends Meeting at Cambridge

Hassan El-Tayyab is an author, songwriter, and the legislative director for Middle East Policy and
advocacy organizer at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). Hassan leads FCNL’s work to end U.S. military involvement in the Saudi-led war on Yemen, advocate for Palestinian human
rights, and advance diplomacy with Iran.

including his extended family in Jordan, Palestine, and Yemen. He is convinced that advancing a more
diplomacy-based foreign policy in the Middle East is critical, not only for the family he loves, but for
peace and stability worldwide. He is frequently invited to guest lecture at colleges and universities around the United States on foreign affairs. His writings and commentaries have been featured in numerous national and international news outlets. His recent article on the current situation in Congress in Just Security can be found here.
