JCPA President Dan Diker and Senior Director for Middle East Security and Communications Aviram Belleishe met in New York with Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, and JCPA Senior Director for Arab Israel Diplomacy Jason Greenblatt, former U.S. Presidential Special Envoy to the Middle East. The four assessed the ways JCPA can facilitate cooperation with Abraham Accords Arab signatories, and expand the circle of peace with other Arab countries. They also assessed ways to approach Palestinian Authority-Israel relations in view of the PA’s “pay for slay” terror-supporting policy and its intensifying Nazi and Soviet-era conspiracy theory rhetoric on Israel and the Jewish people, and discussed JCPA’s current “Oslo@30: Lessons Learned” initiative which aims to forge new Israeli policies opposite the PA. Friedman and Greenblatt were architects of the Trump Administration’s 2020 Abraham Accords and its “Peace to Prosperity” initiative to relaunch PA-Israel diplomacy.
