Daniel Sherman will share how, despite the extraordinary flux and danger, there are features of regional interests that can offer unique opportunities. Careful engagement by the United States could help Israelis and Palestinians take advantage of these opportunities. Carelessness could further inflame an already volatile region.
Daniel Sherman is a strategic and organizational consultant focusing on peace and development issues. He served as a Senior General Staff Officer in the Israel Defense Forces. There he worked on the peace process, and developed social welfare programs for disadvantaged Jewish communities in central and eastern Europe with the Joint Distribution Committee. He also served as the International Relations Director for the Israeli human rights organization, B’Tselem.
He lectures regularly in the United States, Europe and Israel on subjects such as Israeli-Palestinian relations, the political process, Israeli civil society and the changing Middle East. He provides briefings to diplomats (including in the US State Department) and to the senior management of international NGO’s, and he facilitates discussions with faith-based leaders on engagement with peace and justice issues in the Middle East. He has lectured at Israel’s National Defense College and has participated in conferences in Israel’s Knesset.
