Bush was the last U.S. president to compel Israel to work toward a permanent peace in Palestine, and almost paid the ultimate price for it, as detailed in the book below:
“We know that peace must also be based on fairness. In the absence of fairness, there will be no legitimacy—no stability. This applies above all to the Palestinian people, many of whom have known turmoil and frustration above all else. Israel now has an opportunity to demonstrate that it is willing to enter into a new relationship with its Palestinian neighbors; one predicated upon mutual respect and cooperation.”
