Ambassador Dennis Ross, who for more than 12 years
played the leading role in shaping U.S. involvement with the Middle
East peace process, will speak on “The Search for Peace in the Middle
East” on Tuesday, May 28, at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.
His talk is this year's Frederick E. Miller Lecture in Honor
of Anwar Sadat.
Ross led U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process
and dealt directly with the negotiations. As the architect of the
peace process, he was instrumental in assisting the Israelis and
Palestinians in reaching the 1995 Interim Agreement, and he brokered
the Hebron Accord in 1997. He facilitated the Israeli-Jordan
peace treaty and worked to bring Israel and Syria together.
