In anticipation of the January 2017 "Middle East peace conference" in Paris, AJC CEO David Harris writes an open letter to French foreign minister Ayrault, urging the re-evaluation of European political priorities and highlighting face-to-face Israeli-Palestinian negotiation as a critical prerequisite to progress.

To date, more than 350 U.S. mayors and municipal leaders from all 50 states and the District of Columbia representing nearly 86 million people have signed AJC's statement that affirms that antisemitism is incompatible with fundamental democratic values, along with nearly 200 European mayors from 31 countries representing more than 70 million people.

Foreign ministers of some 70 nations are expected to meet in Paris on Jan. 15, five days before the American presidential inauguration, for an international conference on the Middle East that disproportionately zeroes in on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
