Thank you for RSVPing for our special author event with Martin Indyk, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel on Tuesday, November 29, 7:30 PM. With special guest, the Consul General of Israel for Miami, Maor Elbaz-Starinsky.
More than 20 years have elapsed since the United States last brokered a peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians. In that time, three presidents have tried and failed. Martin Indyk- a former US ambassador to Israel and special envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian negotiation in 2013- has experienced these political frustrations and disappointments firsthand. Now, in an attempt to understand, he returns to the origin of American-led peace efforts and to the man who created the Middle East peace process-Henry Kissinger.
Martin Indyk is a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, assistant secretary of state for Near East Affairs, and special assistant to President Clinton. Previously, Indyk was executive vice president of the Brookings Institution, where he had also served as vice president and director of the Foreign Policy program and the founding director of its Center for Middle East Policy. He served as President Obama’s special envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations from July 2013 to June 2014. He lives in New York.
