Issue Position: Foreign Affairs-Middle East

Issue Position

The Middle East conflict is one of the most vexing diplomatic issues in the world. As a superpower, the United States has the opportunity and responsibility to help bring stability to this volatile and strategic region. The U.S. must be an honest broker for peace and revisit a peace process. We must encourage people-to-people contact in the region so we can eliminate hatred and highlight common bonds between neighbors. The pathway to peace can be paved by grass-roots diplomacy in addition to governmental compromise.

I believe that peace in the region is possible if all sides distance themselves from extremism and open themselves to frank dialogue. The United States can help usher in a new era of hope for the region and the world.
