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:

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.

Where We Stand

Mission Statement:

Israel Policy Forum (IPF) promotes active U.S. engagement to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and peace and security for Israel with the Palestinians and the Arab states.

Israel Policy Forum's core beliefs are that: 1) the Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Arab conflicts cannot be resolved without active and sustained diplomatic efforts by the United States government, and 2) resolving these conflicts is in the strategic, national interest of the United States.

Israel Policy Forum is an independent non-profit, American organization that is committed to a strong and enduring U.S.-Israel relationship and to advancing the shared interests of the United States and the State of Israel. In this regard, IPF promotes:

US Diplomatic Leadership
Preserving the strong US-Israel relationship and advancing US interests requires American diplomatic leadership in the Middle East.

Israel's Security
Ensuring Israel's security requires a combination of vigilance and diplomacy.

A Two-State Solution
A two state solution is urgently needed to secure Israel's future as a Jewish, democratic state.

Israeli-Syrian Dialogue
The United States should vigorously support Israeli-Syrian dialogue.  An Israeli-Syrian peace agreement could create a new dynamic for Israel and the entire region

Engaging the Arab States
The United States and the State of Israel should engage the Arab States in an effort to advance the Arab Peace Initiative.

Toward a New Iran Policy
Engagement is not appeasement.  Curbing the threat from Iran requires vigorous international diplomacy led by the United States.
