Promoting Peace? Reexamining U.S. Aid to The Palestinian Authority
On January 22, just 2 days after his inauguration, President Obama appointed Senator George Mitchell as Special Envoy to the Middle East. Two and a half years later, just days after accepting Senator Mitchell's resignation, President Obama reiterated his belief that the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of America's core interests in the Middle East.
Throughout these 2 1/2 years, assistance to the Palestinian Authority has consistently remained a central pillar of the administration's policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unfortunately, recent developments on the ground require that we reassess our current policy trajectory and, if necessary, adjust accordingly.
The current Palestinian leadership appears all too willing to sacrifice the tremendous gains that have been achieved by Prime Minister Fayyad's state building effort in the name of political theatrics.
Instead of capitalizing on those gains through honest negotiations with Israel, the Palestinian leadership appears dead set on pursuing a unilateral declaration of independence before the U.N. General Assembly this September. True Israeli-Palestinian peace will only be made between two peoples, Israelis and Palestinians, and not the other 191 other members of the General Assembly.
