Appearing in today’s Miami Herald, Ofer Bavly, Consul General of Israel to Florida and Puerto Rico explains why the peace process is so important, stating “time does not favor us as radicalism continues to spread around the world.” With the proximity talks, mediated by former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, having just recently started, Mr. Bavly notes that the “constant obstacle to peace is the weakness of the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority (P.A.) and the violent takeover of the Palestinian Gaza Strip by the Iran-backed Hamas terror organization.”

While Palestinian leadership refuses to meet with Israeli officials directly, “only realism and a courageous Palestinian leadership will lead to direct talks, to the creation of mutual trust and ultimately to true and lasting peace in the Middle East.”
