It's time for President Obama to take executive action on peace

Through recent actions and last night's State of the Union, President Obama has made it clear that he plans to do what's necessary to advance his priorities during his final year as President.

Since day one, resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a priority for President Obama. And though a final agreement may not be within reach, there are concrete actions the President can take to preserve hope for a two-state solution.

He acted on guns. He acted on climate change. He plans to act on Guantanamo. Tell President Obama to act in his final year in office to advance the cause of peace.

    Tell President Obama:

    In your final State of the Union you made it clear that you will "not let up" in advancing your priorities.

    Achieving a two-state solution has been one of your priorities since day one. And though a final accord will likely not be reached during your last year in office, I am asking you to "not let up" on that goal. There are concrete steps you can take immediately to make life better for Israelis and Palestinians, and to preserve hopes for peace.

    I join J Street in calling on you to conduct a review of potential executive actions available to you including (but not limited to): giving force to US opposition to settlements; putting forth US parameters to guide future negotiations; promoting economic development and coexistence programming that move the conflict closer to eventual resolution, working from the ground up.
