Ambassador Martin S. Indyk
We are truly fortunate to have Martin as a member of Israel Policy Forum’s board of directors and as Convener of our Advisory Council, bringing his insight, expertise, and passion to Israel Policy Forum’s vision of a Jewish, democratic, secure Israel. Martin’s illustrious career includes service as U.S. ambassador to Israel from 1995 to 1997 and again from 2000 to 2001. He also served as special assistant to President Bill Clinton and senior director for Near East and South Asian affairs at the National Security Council (1993–95) and as Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs in the U.S. Department of State (1997–2000). He served as the U.S. special envoy for the Israeli- Palestinian negotiations from July 2013 to June 2014, and is currently a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Martin is also the author of three books, including Innocent Abroad: An Intimate Account of American Peace Diplomacy in the Middle East, Bending History: Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy, and most recently, Master of the Game: Henry Kissinger and the Art of Middle East Diplomacy.
