Following Ross' remarks, Roger Cohen, a columnist at The New York TimesDaniel Levy, Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, and Bernard Avishai, author of the recent New York Times Magazine cover story on how close the parties were to peace in 2007, will hold a lively discussion about where US policy is headed at this amazing moment of change in the region and what it means for the prospects for peace. We're also streaming two more sessions today - view the schedule here for details.

We will post the archived video of Ross' remarks and the reaction panel on our special conference website by the end of the day. Click here for more archived videos from the conference.
Watch the videos from Saturday night's conference opening plenary session honoring three heroes -- author and journalist Peter Beinart, organizer of Sheikh Jarrah protests Sara Benninga, and messenger of peace Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish.
Sunday's sessions are also online, including "History before Our Eyes: Broader Implications of Democracy Movements in the Arab World," our plenary session on the recent happenings in the Middle East and North Africa, and "Knesset Roundtable: Israeli Politics and Policy in 2011," our roundtable discussion featuring six members of Israel’s Knesset.
The conference has already been such an inspiring experience. I can't wait to channel this incredible energy into our work together in the coming year. 

We'll be in touch soon,

- Isaac
