2010 Must Be Showtime for Mideast Peace

By David Halperin
Assistant Director, IPF - NY
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 12:27pm

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.

Who We Are

Israel Policy Forum (IPF) develops policy, advocacy, commentary, and analysis in support of US diplomacy in the Middle East.

The mission of Israel Policy Forum (IPF) is to promote 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.

IPF is an independent, American, nonpartisan, 501(C) 3 nonprofit 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.

IPF'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 a strategic, national interest of the United States.

IPF employs a thoughtful approach to policy development and advocacy, mobilizing key members of the American Jewish, political, business and academic communities for timely policy and advocacy initiatives.

IPF was founded in 1993 with the endorsement of Israel's late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who recognized that Israel would need the strong backing of the United States government and the American Jewish community in order to make the painful compromises needed to secure peace.

Today, IPF represents a community of Americans promoting a robust dialogue in Washington, DC, the American Jewish community and beyond, on the need for active, responsible US diplomacy to advance America's interests and ensure Israel's security and future as a Jewish, democratic state.
