(WASHINGTON DC - February 20, 2009) IIC condemns the seizure of Palestinian West Bank land by Israel this week, in violation of international law. Hardliner Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is a proponent of land seizure and does not believe in peace talks with the Palestinians. IIC believes that this sort of behavior is not conducive to a lasting peaceful solution, and instead believes Israel should strongly focus on peaceful existence with its neighbors, instead of violent agitation of the situation.
The Associated Press says "Successive Israeli governments have broken promises to the United States to halt settlement expansion, defined by Washington as an obstacle to peace. Ongoing expansion is likely to create friction not only with the Palestinians, but with President Barack Obama, whose Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, has long pushed for a settlement freeze. Obama has said he'd get involved quickly in Mideast peace efforts."
IIC urges nationwide participation in its Congressional Letter Writing campaign, the details of which are available here.
