Saban Center for Middle East Policy
The Saban Center for Middle East Policy is a research organization established at the Brookings Institution in 2002 through the donation of $13 million by the Israeli media-mogul Haim Saban.[1]
Its current director is Kenneth M. Pollack. Pollack took over from veteran pro-Israel lobbyist, Martin Indyk, who founded the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, an AIPAC think-tank.
Explaining his rationale behind the center, Saban told the New York Times:
- "I've heard from leaders on both sides of the aisle in the United States and leaders in Europe about what Sharon shouldn't do, I haven't heard one educated suggestion about what he should do."[1]
