Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are toiling to resolve one of the most intractable conflicts in history.

American leadership has been vital to the resumption of talks - and it's going to be vital for their success.

Establishing that America's elected representatives stand behind the Kerry effort and that politics won't stand in the way of a serious effort to reach an agreement could be a game-changer - and that's what Senate Resolution 203 does.

This success of this resolution would send a clear message to Israelis and Palestinians that this time can be different.

They would see that the quest for peace is not only a passion of Secretary Kerry’s but a commitment shared by the US government and people as a whole.

Please ask your Senators to lend their support.
