APN Opposes Trump Recognition of Israel's Golan Heights Annexation

Americans for Peace Now (APN) strongly condemns President Trump’s Twitter declaration that “it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights.” We resolutely oppose a change in US policy – consistent across consecutive administrations, Republican and Democratic – that would recognize Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights.

Such a revolutionary policy shift would hurt prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and harm Israel’s chances for peace with Arab states. This step, as a result, would negatively impact Israel’s national security. It would also severely harm America’s moral standing and national security interests.

PeaceCast Recorded Live: "Covering the Conflict from DC"

This is a special episode of PeaceCast. For the first time, APN recorded before a live audience in Washington DC. We partnered with one of Israel’s most popular English language podcasts, the Tel Aviv Review.

We recorded it on March 7th 2019 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The event was organized in partnership with J Street.

We hosted two journalists, Israeli journalist Amir Tibon of Haaretz and Palestinian journalist Said Arikat of al-Quds. Haaretz is published in Tel Aviv and al-Quds is published in Ramallah, in the West Bank. Amir and Said are the Washington correspondents of their newspapers. The idea of this conversation was to explore how Said and Amir both cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from Washington.

This episode is released simultaneously on PeaceCast and on the Tel Aviv Review.

News Nosh 3.14.19

APN's daily news review from Israel
Thursday March 14, 2019

 
Quote of the day:
"Netanyahu, your devotion to the mission was the symbol of your strength as a soldier and a commander. Now, when the goal is only your personal survival, that ability has turned into a double-edged sword being stabbed into all of our bodies, right-wing and left-wing alike."
--Avshalom 'Abu' Vilan, who once fought in the army alongside Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, calls out against Netanyahu's incitement against the left-wing and asks him to think about the good of the state and not preserving his seat.*
