More than 200 people attended APN's policy briefing on Capitol Hill "Digesting Annapolis: What Happened, What It Means, and What Happens Next?"

APN President & CEO Debra DeLee: "The fact that the sides managed to come together to achieve this statement, in the eleventh hour and despite the very serious gaps between them, is itself an encouraging sign."

APN's "Push for Peace, Now" campaign culminates this week in a range of activities supportive of the Annapolis conference.

"This proclamation demonstrates the depth of American support for negotiations to achieve Arab-Israeli peace and the widespread recognition of the importance of this issue to American interests," said Debra DeLee

The Ackerman-Boustany letter warmly endorses the Annapolis process and urges additional measures to enhance the chances of success of this current push for peace.
