Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process – C-SPAN Video Library

Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Martti Ahtisaari of Finland and former Algerian Foreign Minister Lakhdar Brahimi talked about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. They discussed the topic earlier in the day with Secretary of State Kerry. Former President Carter acknowledged that conditions are far more difficult now than during his presidency. Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, also spoke about Syria. He refused to characterize either the Syrian regime or the opposition as ‘winning’ in their civil war but said that there can be no military victory but there must be a political resolution. “Can the Two-State Solution Be Saved?” was a presentation by The Elders, a group of independent leaders founded by Nelson Mandela. It was hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Very lively and informative discussion on the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process and more. Mr. Brahimi gave a detailed update on the situation in Syria as well. Despite all the rumours that he was actually about to resign right before the US-Russian talks launched, he sounds pretty hopeful now.

And in the meantime, these three gentlemen have arrived to London today to discuss Middle East peace with UK Foreign Secretary Hague.
