As Ambassadors for Peace from throughout the Middle East, across America and around the world, we are gathered in the peace-loving city of Amman, capital of a free and sovereign state. We gather in Jordan to offer our heartfelt gratitude, praise and respect for King Abdullah II, the royal family and the central and most effective role he and the Hashemite Kingdom are playing to secure peace in the Middle East.

The Question of Palestine Today
The Question of Palestine is a twentieth century problem that has unfortunately cross over the threshold and is still fully with us in the twenty-first century. Although there are signs of hope, the suffering continues and solutions are not easy to come by, for the root causes lie deep and do not lend themselves to simply solutions. In fact, the full scope of the problem cannot be fully understood nor solved if analyzed solely from the perspective of national sovereignty and political paradigms. Issues of national sovereignty are of course crucial, but, as the efforts of the last century have shown, as necessary as they may be, they are not sufficient to enable the people of the region to do what is needed to create peace.
