Israel Policy Forum Announces its Next Chapter with Middle East Progress

Dear Friends and Supporters of Israel Policy Forum:

On behalf of Israel Policy Forum (IPF), including our President Peter Joseph and Chair Larry Zicklin, I am pleased to inform you that IPF is embarking on its next chapter. 

2010 Must Be Showtime for Mideast Peace

Assistant Director, IPF - NY

As 2009 draws to a close, we are bombarded by the annual litany of commentary features recapping the year in Hollywood movies to the year in international conflict, and everything in between.

When it comes to the Middle East peace process, current conventional wisdom suggests the 2009 recap might go something like this: 

US-Iran Negotiations: Simulation Exercise at INSS

Ephraim Asculai, Emily B. Landau, and Tamar Malz-Ginzburg

INSS Insight No. 154, December 29, 2009

Despite the tendency to denote any simulation exercise on security issues a "war game," the recent simulation designed and held at INSS did not focus on the option of a military attack. Rather, it developed the scenario of a bilateral US-Iranian negotiation over Iran's nuclear program.

Top Reporter Says Bibi's National Security Adviser Is Banned From Entering US

Eli Lake, a top journalist on all matters Middle Eastern, writes in the Washington Times that Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu's choice for national security adviser, Uzi Arad, cannot enter the United States.  He has been denied a visa due to his connections with Steve Rosen, the former (fired for insubordination) AIPAC employee indicted under the Espionage Act of 1917.

This could complicate matters for Netanyahu because Arad is one of Israel's most sophisticated and knowledgeable foreign policy experts.

It's all here.
