The Peace Process
The United States and Israel work together for peace.

The United States and Israel work together for peace.

Even before the founding of the state of Israel 60 years ago, the early Zionists sought peace with their Arab neighbors. Israel, with the strong support of the United States, has remained committed to that goal throughout its history, repeatedly demonstrating its desire to live side-by-side with neighboring states and peoples. Israel's willingness to trade parts of its historic homeland for peace has led to peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. Likewise, Israel has proven willing to make bold, painful concessions in order to end the conflict with the Palestinians.

Israel's Right to Self-Defense

President Obama"We strongly believe that, given its size, its history, the region that it's in, and the threats that are leveled against us -- against it, that Israel has unique security requirements. It's got to be able to respond to threats or any combination of threats in the region."


—President Obama - July 6, 2010
