With the Annapolis peace summit approaching, this event featured three former peace negotiators from the Israeli, Palestinian, and American sides, offering their views on the likely process, outcomes and implications of the Annapolis summit. The former negotiators recently co-authored “Ten Commandments for Mideast Peace.”
The New America Foundation/American Strategy Program has been hosting a series of briefings to examine and discuss the expectations, opportunities and risks of renewed U.S. peace efforts within the current political context.
In October, the New America Foundation/American Strategy Program along with International Crisis Group and the U.S./Middle East Project organized a letter to President Bush and Secretary Rice titled “Failure Risks Devastating Consequences,” which was signed by Zbigniew Brzezinski, Lee Hamilton, Brent Scowcroft, Carla Hills, and four other former officials. Since the original release, over 50 prominent national security experts and former officials have signed on to the letter, which will be re-released with the new signatories at the Tuesday briefing.
Video of this event is available at right. To read and watch other commentary on the upcoming summit, please visit the New America Foundation’s “Road to Annapolis and Beyond” page.
