Twenty Years After Madrid: Lessons Learned and the Way Forward for Arab-Israeli Peacemaking

Arab-Israeli Peacemaking and a Changing Middle East: Questions for the United States

The Madrid Peace Conference was a watershed moment for American diplomacy, but the two decades since have witnessed a region facing substantial challenges and instability, with major uncertainty regarding the future of efforts toward peace. With the recent developments at the United Nations and the Quartet's latest proposal, this conference pulled lessons from the past, assessed the current state-of-play, and explored new ideas for moving forward.

In the closing session of the Twenty Years After Madrid conference, former National Security Advisors Zbigniew Brzezinski and Stephen Hadley discussed the current foreign policy challenges the United States faces in addressing the Arab-Israeli conflict and their views of the road ahead.
