Builders for Peace

In 1993, following the signing of the Israeli-Palestinian peace accord in Washington, Zogby was asked by Vice President Al Gore to lead Builders for Peace, a private sector committee to promote U.S. business investment in the West Bank and Gaza.

In his capacity as co-president of Builders for Peace, Zogby frequently traveled to the Middle East with delegations led by Vice President Gore and the late Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown.

In 1994, with former U.S. Congressman Mel Levine, his colleague as co-president of Builders for Peace, Zogby led a U.S. delegation to the signing of the Israeli-Palestinian agreement in Cairo, Egypt.

Zogby also chaired a forum on the Palestinian economy at the Casablanca Economic Summit in 1994.

After 1994, through Builders for Peace, Zogby worked with a number of US agencies to promote and support Palestinian economic development, including AID, OPIC, USTDA, and the Departments of State and Commerce.
