47] – Combatants for Peace is stronger than
ever. This is a movement of former fighters: former Israeli combat
soldiers working alongside former Palestinian prisoners. Together, they have
put down their weapons and are building a movement that will change the world.
In Israel and Palestine, society is beginning to reopen after the virus.
After three concurrent Israeli elections, a coalition government has
finally been formed. In July, a vote is scheduled to decide upon the annexation
of much of the West Bank, including the Jordan Valley. This message has never
been more urgent. Join a Webinar: "Cultivating Young Leadership" in collaboration
with Creativity for Peace, a young women's leadership program on
Thurs., June 4 from 1:30 PM ET. Register at
