J Street Director of Policy and Strategy Hadar Susskind released the following statement today: J Street joins Vice President Biden in condemning Israel’s announcement of new East Jerusalem construction that only serves to hinder Middle East peace efforts, particularly as the Israelis and Palestinians begin proximity talks. As Vice President Biden said, this is “precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now.” Continued construction in East Jerusalem and the West Bank only diminishes the chances of achieving a viable two-state solution to the conflict. Yesterday’s announcement of proximity talks marked an important step forward, following a concerted American effort to engage the parties.

J Street and J Street U released the following statement today as “Israel Apartheid Week” begins on a number of campuses around North America: As “Israel Apartheid Week” comes to campuses across North America this week to advocate for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel, J Street and J Street U reiterate our strong opposition to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The BDS movement, whose dogmatic, counterproductive approach underlies “Israel Apartheid Week,” aims to delegitimize Israel’s very existence – making no distinction between West Bank settlements and Israel proper, and refusing to support a two-state solution that results in a viable Palestinian state and a secure, democratic Israel that is a homeland for the Jewish people, living side by side in peace and security

In today’s Knesset debate on “The Foreign Ministry’s Behavior Towards Members of the U.S. Congress and the J Street Lobby,” Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said: “Since you asked what is the policy of the Foreign Ministry towards J Street, I want to be clear about it.  We will treat it exactly as we will treat any other Jewish organization in the US. There are organizations from the right, organizations from the left, organizations from the center, period.” You can watch video and read a Hebrew transcript of the debate on the Knesset website here (Part 1) and here (Part 2) .  A complete English translation of the debate is available below the fold
