I think that the U.S. Should assist in mediating negotiations toward a resolution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I understand that the U.S. is very much capable if the Middle East truly desires reconciliation. However, we’ve seen that the U.S. has tried multiple times including the time when President Clinton journeyed to Israel and spend two weeks in talks with all the leaders. Although much effort was put into the talks, the results weren’t sufficient. One thing that I’ve realized is that the problem here might not be the leaders of some countries in the Middle East, but the belief and systems, and organizations that have refused to budge. I believe that with the right approach, the U.S. should and can bring peace and stability to the Middle East.
