“Is Peace Possible?” Two major points of contention in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were the topic of a Woodrow Wilson School discussion on February 6, 2012, as experts on the Middle East talked about the gap between each side’s position and some of the proposals to bridge them on the issues of “borders” and “security.” Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer, former U.S. ambassador to Israel and Egypt, and the S. Daniel Abraham Professor in Middle Eastern Policy Studies at the Woodrow Wilson School, and former Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL), president of the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace in Washington, DC, spoke to an overflow crowd of students and members of the Princeton community in the opening lecture for the Woodrow Wilson School’s 2012 spring semester. Deborah Amos, a Middle East correspondent for National Public Radio and a visiting Ferris Professor at Princeton University’s Council of the Humanities, moderated the discussion and the question and answer session that followed the presentations.
