(openPR) - West Palm Beach, FL – (i1connect News) – Today, International businessman, and 2008 US Presidential Candidate, Daniel Imperato, offered to negotiate a settlement between Israel and Hamas. He sent a message to the group of prominent Israeli academics and writers who urged their government to negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas. "I agree with their assertion that it would help bring an end to the suffering of Israelis and of Palestinians living in the occupied territories".
Internationally-acclaimed authors Amos Oz, David Grossman and AB Yehoshua were among the signatories. They issued this statement to the BBC, ""Now, the appropriate course of action is to negotiate with Hamas to reach a general ceasefire to prevent further suffering for both sides."
Imperato first made the offer to negotiate two years ago. "I issued a press release back on Sept. 16, 2005 requesting Mahmoud Abbas to show his sincere interest in leading his people to a peaceful solution along with the same request for Ariel Sharon, who had responded from Mahmoud Abbas' phone call with best wishes to Mr. Abbas, for Ramadan," said Imperato. "Things have changed since, but there still needs to be a dialogue and a willingness on both sides to resolve the longstanding disagreements. So I once again offer my services as a diplomatic envoy to get all sides talking."
Imperato found it ironic that these two differing cultures both had similar goals for their prayer during their holiest period of the year.
"What stands out for me is quite simple and astonishing that the people of the Muslim faith and the Jewish faith are all praying for a similar prayer to God, that peace, prosperity, and mutual respect will be brought to the region, the people, the children, and the rest of the world," commented Imperato.
Imperato went on to conclude his statement by saying, "I believe that we should all be in prayer together as human beings. We share a mutual desire for goodness and peaceful times in the region”.
Daniel was born in Boston, Mass (1958), and began his business career in 1977 transforming the manufacturing facilities in Israel through adapting them to the global marketplace along with bringing financing to the factories for global expansion. Daniel brings over thirty years of experience in global business planning and development and has personal relationships at high levels around the world. He is currently a Papal Knight with honors from the Vatican, was a board member for the African Center Foundation (a United Nations NGO), the Grand Prior of the Orden Bonaria, a Ronald Reagan Gold Medal Winner, 2004 NRCC Businessman of the Year, and an ordained Chaplain for the Latin/African American Chaplains Association of New York. Presently, he has decided to seek the office of President of the United States as an Independent candidate for 2008.
