"Labelling Israeli settlement products would be a small step but a big political signal." Mary Robinson
Gro Harlem Brundtland and Mary Robinson talk to RTÉ Radio One's Richard Crowley about The Elders' call for Europe to play a stronger role in the Middle East peace process.
"Only you, Mr President, can turn things around in the dying Israeli-Palestinian peace process… You are our only – and probably last – hope.”
As the US President arrives in the Middle East for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, former senior Israeli diplomat Alon Liel urges him to rescue the moribund peace process.
“We don't give up. We are determined. In this interconnected world, problems in one country – if we don't address them and support them – will spill over into other countries.”
On NPR’s Talk of The Nation, Jimmy Carter and Mary Robinson joined Neal Conan in a radio interview to discuss how and where the 'moral force' of The Elders can be most effective.
Ahead of the Elders' visit to the Middle East, Jimmy Carter speaks to Akiva Eldar from Haaretz about his dismay at the standstill in the peace process and what has changed in the three decades since the Camp David agreement.
In an interview with Akiva Eldar from Haaretz, Desmond Tutu argues that Israel must learn that security cannot be gained through fences, walls and guns.
In an interview with Rebecca Anna Stoil from The Jerusalem Post, Mary Robinson warns that a two-state solution may no longer be possible if Israel does not freeze settlement construction.
