Please join AIPAC today and help us work to keep Congress informed on the regrettable actions of the Palestinian Authority that make peace harder to achieve .
For decades, the PA and President Abbas have refused to accept any peace offer, prepare their people for peace with Israelis, or build the needed foundation for a successful independent state.
AIPAC members are now working with Congress to urge the Palestinian leadership to end their boycott of American and Israeli officials, join the Arab world in being open to new economic opportunities, and return to direct talks with Israel to bring their people a brighter future.

That is why I hope you will act today to invest in AIPAC and help in this important work .
Direct, bilateral negotiations between the parties are the only viable path to achieve an enduring peace.
