Dear Nisim Ezra:

 

      Thank you for writing to share your views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  I have initiated a sustained diplomatic effort to promote peace in the region because achieving a secure and lasting peace is critical not only for Israelis and Palestinians, but also for their neighbors and the United States.  Secretary Clinton and I appointed former Senator George Mitchell, an experienced and accomplished diplomat, as our Special Envoy to lead this effort.

 

      Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict demands our immediate and continued attention.  For generations, the conflict has taken a terrible human toll, and continued instability in the Middle East makes us all less safe.  We must open a more hopeful chapter in the story of the Holy Land.

 

            Through comprehensive and sustained efforts, we can achieve the goal of two states:  a Jewish state of Israel and a viable Palestinian state, living side by side in peace and security.  This approach requires working with Israelis, Palestinians, and other stakeholders over the long term, and my Administration will do just that.

 

            I encourage you to read more about my

 

Administration's approach to this complex issue and other critical foreign policy matters at the website below, and to share it with others:

            Again, thank you for writing.

 

Sincerely,

 

Barack Obama
