Reuters quotes Daniel Levy on the upcoming, U.S.-moderated meeting between Israeli and Palestinian leaders:

With expectations raised for the conference, experts warn that if it fails, it could serve only to damage peace efforts and further destabilize the region.

"Attempted peacemaking, if ill-conceived, can be as risky and destabilizing as war-making," said Daniel Levy, a former negotiator for the Israelis who is now with the New America foundation, a think-tank in Washington.

Daniel Levy is a Senior Fellow with the American Strategy Program at New America, and Director of the Middle East Project. For the complete article, please visit Reuters.com.
