From progressive Israel/Mideast peace group J Street:

President Obama is getting ready to set his course for achieving real peace and security in the Middle East.

But some are telling the President to go slow and take a hands-off approach to negotiations, rather than taking the immediate action needed to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Arab conflicts. 

This Administration's first year is crucial to promoting peace in the region - and the President needs to know that he has strong support in Congress if he chooses a path of leadership and real action.

Representatives Steve Cohen (D-TN), Charles Boustany (R-LA), and Russ Carnahan (D-MO) have authored a bipartisan letter backing President Obama's strong leadership in pursuit of the two-state solution and a regional comprehensive peace.

J Street also has a separate letter of support to President Obama for his "freeze means freeze" approach to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank).
