Last week [July 25], senior members of the Jewish community in the United States congratulated, in writing, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, thanking him for his consent to start negotiations with the Palestinian leadership to reach a solution for the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. According to them, such a solution would prevent Israel from becoming a binational state, thus jeopardizing the future of the Jewish state.
Initiated by the Israel Policy Forum, the letter was signed, among others, by prominent mainstream figures of the Jewish community, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, professor Alan Dershowitz and Dov Zakheim, who served as adviser to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
