On Monday, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu met with President Obama at the White House. The meeting was largely cordial, and both men spoke about their desire to pursue peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
While each leader has expressed an interest in peace talks, however, it is not clear that they share the same vision when it comes to the details of peace making. Will President Obama continue working with Prime Minister Netanyahu as a partner? Or will he pressure the Prime Minister into making concessions that the Israelis believe to be unwise? We do not currently know the answer to these questions.
It is therefore important that we urge the President now, at the outset, to pursue peace in close coordination with Israel's democratically elected leaders. Please click here to send a message to President Obama not to pressure Israel.
As a candidate and again after his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday, President Obama pledged to protect Israel's security. Let us encourage him to keep this pledge, and to recognize that when it comes to taking risks for peace the Israelis must ultimately be the ones to decide.
May God Bless You and Those that You Love,
