At the October summit, the 2018 Bronfman Conveners gathered for series of immersive educational sessions on the two-state solution, US-Israel relationship, and Middle East affairs. The leaders pooled their insights and knowledge, gleaned from a variety of perspectives and backgrounds across multiple different industries, to strategize on future programming and initiatives to elevate the discourse and mobilize support in their communities for a two-state solution.

“As dedicated members and leaders of the North American pro-Israel community, we aspire to work together with community leaders to advance our shared goal of a secure, Jewish, and democratic State of Israel, which can only be achieved through the two-state solution for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.

Our hope is to work within the institutional framework to expand the network of people involved in making two states for two peoples a reality, both through support of reconciliation projects as well as progress at the policy level. Throughout this engagement process we will encourage and support American Jewish groups to be intentional about their support of the two-state vision, to be vocal against policies and rhetoric that threaten the viability of two states, and to express their public commitment to doing their utmost to host speakers who are explicit in their support for two states.”
