Special Report

 
USPTT3

 

Report by an independent study group chaired by Thomas Pickering, former Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Israel, and Jordan. Principal authors Geoffrey Aronson and retired Col. Philip Dermer argue that establishing a Palestinian state at peace with Israel will enhance the vital security interests of all parties, including the United States, which has a vital national security interest in such an outcome. After decades in which efforts to achieve such an objective have come up short, current circumstances require an unprecedented US commitment to lead the parties, and the international community, to realize this objective.

What People Are Saying

"The [Settlement] Report is a comprehensive and vital guide for monitoring the issue of settlements, an issue that has to be addressed if there is to be an Israeli-Palestinian peace."

Zbigniew Brzezinski
Former U.S. National Security Advisor


March-April 2014 Settlement Report THE LAND OF ISRAEL IS ONE SETTLEMENT BLOC

Only hours before U.S. president Barack Obama’s March 3, 2014 White House meeting with Israel prime minster Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) reported that the number of construction starts in West Bank settlements had more than doubled in 2013 to 2,534 units, which is more construction than took place in Tel Aviv. 

TO OUR READERS

As U.S.-sponsored peace talks are near collapse, John Kerry has blamed Israel most harshly. But officials in the U.S. cast equal blame on the Palestinian Authority’s “unilateral” decision to join fifteen UN human rights and other treaties as another reason for the breakdown.
