The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) commends the Clinton Administration and the State Department for their tireless efforts to advance the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians within the framework of the Oslo Accords. In particular we express our gratitude to President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Special Middle East Negotiator Dennis Ross who, along with many other American officials, have made the achievement of a lasting Israeli/ Palestinian peace agreement a major priority.
The Administration has shown good faith and patience by actively encouraging the Palestinians and Israelis to take a number of steps aimed at building confidence and improving prospects for a comprehensive agreement, while avoiding attempts to impose a solution.
The Administration has consistently emphasized the uniqueness and the importance of the U.S./Israeli relationship and recognized Israel’s fundamental security needs. The American Jewish community believes that these long-standing positions are critically important to the prospects for peace.
We strongly encourage the Administration to continue to:
It is through this combination of patience and friendly persistence that peace may ultimately be achieved.
