Here is an interesting roundup of critical commentary on the Mideast peace process from former U.S. statesmen by the Voice of America news service. The report was inspired by President Obama’s meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in the Oval Office last Tuesday and contains excerpts of interviews showcased in a 20-minute film titled New Hope for Peace: What America Must Do to End the Israel-Palestine Conflict. In the film, produced by the Foundation for Middle East Peace, former Secretary of State James Baker, former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, and former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski share their insights on the U.S. role in promoting Mideast peace.
