November-December 2008 Settlement Report Tinkering at the Margins of Israeli Rule Will Not End Occupation or Settlement

Abbas, having despaired of an agreement with Israel, has reportedly turned his efforts to winning a letter of support from outgoing U.S. president George W. Bush for a “political solution based on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders.”

To Our Readers

As President-Elect Obama establishes policy priorities, he must decide when and how to engage in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is wide agreement that our previous policies have failed, that a resolution of this conflict is critical to the future of both peoples, and that this problem is closely linked to other U.S. challenges in the region, including Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and terrorism.
