American Jews call on Condoleezza Rice to press for peace
By Shlomo Shamir, Haaretz Correspondent
 

A group of Jewish leaders in the United States has called on the newly appointed secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, to put pressure on both Israel and the Palestinians in order to renew the peace process.

Israel, they believe, should put an end to settlement activity, while the Palestinians should mount a genuine effort to prevent terrorism.

In their letter, the 75 Jewish leaders ask Rice to show "ongoing, personal involvement... to create reality from President [George W.] Bush's vision" of two democratic states living peacefully side by side.

They warn that "a crucial opportunity may be lost" if this is not done.
