Edgar Bronfman, Sr. Peace Quotations

A peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will likely depend to a great extent on the economic development of a future Palestinian state. As I have argued before, private sector investment - especially in the West Bank - is going to prove crucial in creating the right political and social context for peace.

With the common Iranian threat bringing the Sunni Arab world and Israel closer together, an Israeli-Palestinian peace would go a long way in improving relations and rebuffing Iran's regional ambitions.

It is high time that the Arab world's professed desire for peace is matched by responsible action, and not more of the same equivocation.

Much of what has gone wrong in the pursuit of Arab-Israeli peace is due to a lack of strong leadership, primarily among the Palestinians.

Israel desperately needs peace if it is to come anywhere close to being the 'light unto nations' of Jewish dreams.
