USIP's goal in Lebanon is to develop proposals, ideas and policy recommendations that will prevent conflict within Lebanon and across its borders. Towards that goal, USIP facilitates expert groups on Lebanon and Arab-Israeli relations and runs the Muslim World Initiative. These programs and additional work increase the policy community's knowledge about Lebanon and encourage communication and collaboration among experts in and outside of Lebanon. |

Arab-Israeli relations have deteriorated to their lowest point in a generation, with intensifying and widening violence. However, the severity of the problems may drive the parties to reconsider long-stagnant issues and create opportunities for new efforts to resolve the conflict. In order to seize on the prospects for renewing negotiations, USIP is conducting both policy-relevant analysis and innovative programming in support of local initiatives to build support for peace.
