Thirty Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders from the United States called for “a bold new US initiative for a two-state peace agreement before it is too late.” They made the call in a statement sponsored by the National Interreligious Leadership Initiative for Peace in the Middle East (NILI).

“The current dangerous stalemate, including the legacy of past failed peacemaking efforts, undermines our security and that of others, destabilizes the region, fuels terrorism and extremism, allows continuing Israeli settlement expansion, and prolongs Palestinian disunity,” wrote the leaders. “These realities and the absence of negotiations threaten to kill the prospect of a viable two-state peace agreement, the only realistic solution to the conflict.”   »»» Independent Catholic News
