"We have come to the region to deepen our understanding of the issues facing the Middle East and the world – notably the need to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so as to better address the challenges posed by Iran.  These are not simply Israeli interests. We are here because these important issues impact on fundamental American security interests as well."
