In a Washington Post op-ed piece he co-authored, former United States National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski has argued that President Barack Obama should make a dramatic trip to the Middle East, introduce a new peace plan and refer it to the United Nations should Israel refuse to accept it. "Only a bold and dramatic gesture in a historically significant setting can generate the political and psychological momentum needed for a major breakthrough."
Brzezinski, who Obama studied under at Columbia University, is known by many Washington insiders to be the president’s long-time political patron and current unofficial major policy advisor. Brzezinski recently participated in a meeting held by President Obama with several senior figures and specialists to discuss a new approach to achieving American interests in the Middle East.
