representatives in order to enable them to help find a fair solution to the Palestinian/Israeli
conflict. The peace and security of the United States are tied to the peace and security of both
Israel and the Palestinians. No one can be safe until all are safe. While both sides are
committing atrocities, the cause of the conflict is the occupation, settlements and crimes
