S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace

The S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace was established in 1989 by Slim Fast Foods Chairman Dan Abraham and Utah Congressman Wayne Owens. A World War II combat veteran, Abraham experienced the horrors of war and has since committed himself to the prevention of future conflicts. When he met Owens, who served on the House Foreign Affairs and Select Intelligence Committees, the two men recognized that they shared a determination to achieve a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After serving in the U.S. House of Representatives on the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary Committees from 1997-2010, Florida Congressman Robert Wexler joined the Center as President to build upon the lifelong work of Abraham and Owens.
