Name: Shlomo Ben-Ami, Ph.D.  
Title: Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, 2000-2001

Position: Pro Clinton Parameters to the question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?"
Reasoning:

"The Clinton parameters were the culmination of laborious effort by an honest broker, a brilliantly devised point of equilibrium between the positions of the parties at the latest stage of the negotiations. But Mr. Clinton, desperately short of time at the end of his presidency, was unable to rally the Arab governments to his enterprise and could not build an effective alliance with the Europeans and the Russians to sustain his peace deal.
