The American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP) was founded in Washington D.C. on July 15, 2003 to advocate the establishment of a viable and independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. The idea for an organization focused solely on Palestine started as a series of conversations between Ziad Asali, then president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and several prominent Palestinian Americans, including former White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu. A board of directors was formed and, soon thereafter, ATFP was up and running under the direction of an Executive Committee.
