A letter to Dr. Condoleezza Rice

Rev. Dr. Samuel Kobia, General Secretary
World Council of Churches


Your Excellency,

I write this letter to you at a critical juncture in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We address your office with deep concern that all the members of the Middle East Quartet work in new ways to meet the new situation emerging from last month's Palestinian election. The World Council of Churches would commend to you to fully exercise your responsibilities in this regard. Much now depends on how the international community under your leadership responds, given the increasingly broad and dangerous implications of this unresolved conflict for the region and much of the world.

We would like to call your attention to three features of the new situation, which present opportunities for genuine progress toward peace.
