His research explores the intersection of settler colonialism and neoliberalism in shaping the Palestinian economy. By analyzing structural nodes of these forces, he theorizes how class- and race-based governance mechanisms impact social and economic reproduction in Palestine. He challenges exceptionalist frameworks in Palestine studies through comparative analysis with other indigenous communities under settler colonial expansion.
Previously, Sobhi worked with UN development agencies in Geneva and Timor-Leste, applying his expertise in political economy to global development contexts.
