A New Diplomatic Opening
President Trump has proposed to mediate the conflict between India and Pakistan and is reportedly considering hosting India and Pakistan’s leaders for a dinner to discuss peace. See AP in-depth report. This reflects an approach the American Jewish Congress (AJCongress) has championed for years: proactive U.S. diplomacy in South Asia to prevent escalation and build dialogue.
It also aligns with our efforts to achieve an Israel-Pakistan rapprochement.
As a voice for pragmatic engagement, AJCongress works not just in the Arab Middle East but has been consistently active in Pakistan, the second largest Muslim-majority nation, opening diplomatic channels, influencing international forums, and fostering understanding around Israel’s security realities.
