President Barack Obama is reportedly deciding whether to make a major policy speech on Israeli-Palestinian peace in the coming weeks. This could be an important opportunity for the president to (1) make clear that he remains personally invested in Israeli-Palestinian peace, (2) to lay out his vision for peace, and (3) to explain how he plans to move the parties towards this goal.
A speech is not enough. But it's an opportunity to start turning things around. It must be followed by action and genuine leadership. Write President Obama. Show the White House that Americans want our president to reinvigorate his peace efforts.
