    • Former congressman Robert Wexler, who now heads the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace, addressed the Middle East peace process in the wake of a regime change in Egypt, continued political upheaval in the region and what it all means to Israel.Based in Washington, D.C., the Center for Middle East Peace works with leaders and policymakers in the U.S. and the Middle East to help reach a just and comprehensive peace that will bring an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.  The center focuses on efforts to facilitate conversations that bridge differences between the parties.After serving seven terms as a U.S. Representative representing part of Palm Beach County, Wexler accepted the post of Center President in January 2010.  In the past, Wexler was named one of the “50 Most Effective Legislators in Congress” by Congressional Quarterly and in 2008 was named to the Forward 50 list as one of the most influential leaders in the American Jewish Community.  In 2008, Congressman Wexler served as an advisor on Middle East and Israel issues to President Barak Obama during his presidential campaign.Throughout his tenure in Congress and in his current post, Wexler has been an outspoken advocate for the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel, a leading proponent of Israel’s right to self-defense and the need for a just and comprehensive resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
