“I am thankful to Ranking Member McCaul for appointing me to this important advisory board which aims to build bridges so that Israelis and Palestinians can co-exist in peace. As the former USAID Administrator, I am committed to providing clear-eyed assessments and analysis to achieve demonstrable change on the ground to support peace.”
