Daniel Levy: "The Shape of a Peaceable Foreign Policy"
LANCASTER, Pa. - Daniel Levy, Senior Fellow and Director of the Middle East Initiative at the New America Foundation and a Senior Fellow and Director of the Prospects for Peace Initiative at The Century Foundation, will discuss "The Shape of a Peaceable Foreign Policy" on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 3 p.m. in the Barshinger Center for Musical Arts.
The talk, sponsored by Franklin & Marshall's Center for Liberal Arts and Society, and the Lancaster Interchurch Peace Witness, is the latter's fall peace forum and is free and open to the public.
During Israel's Barak administration, Levy worked in the Prime Minister's Office as special adviser and head of Jerusalem Affairs. He then worked as senior policy adviser to then-Israeli Minister of Justice Yossi Beilin. In this capacity, he was responsible for coordinating policy on various issues including peace negotiations, civil and human rights, and the Palestinian minority in Israel.
Levy was a member of the official Israeli delegation to the Taba negotiations with the Palestinians in January 2001, and previously served on the Israeli negotiating team to the "Oslo B" Agreement from May to September 1995 under Prime Minister Rabin. He also served as the lead Israeli drafter of the Geneva Initiative, a joint Israeli-Palestinian effort that suggests a detailed model for a peace agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. From 2003 to 2004, he worked as an analyst for the International Crisis Group Middle East Program.
Levy earned his bachelor's and master's degrees with honors from King's College, Cambridge where he was awarded prizes in Social and Political Science. He left the UK for Israel in 1991 when elected Chair of the World Union of Jewish Students in Jerusalem, a position he held from 1991 to 1994, after which he was Projects Director for the Economic Co-operation Foundation, a policy planning think tank in Tel Aviv. He has written extensively in a broad range of publications including The International Herald Tribune, Ha'aretz, The Jerusalem Post, The Boston Globe, United Press International, The American Prospect, The Washington Monthly, and more.
Levy was a founder of the Israel-Palestinian Peace Coalition and is on the Advisory Board of the recently established J Street organization and of the global campaigning group, Avaaz. His blog is www.prospectsforpeace.com, and he posts regularly at TPM Cafe, The Huffington Post, and The Guardian Unlimited.
