FIELD NOTES: Peacebuilding During the War
Join us for some time with International Director, Ghassan Manasra, who was just in Israel during Ramadan for the three Multi-Faith Iftar Dinners, and Abd Manasra, Israeli Programs Director, who is currently in the Holy Land.
Last week, Abed told me that I “would not believe the price of bread here today – 1.2 Shekels for a single pita.” Conditions on the ground are precarious and fraught with danger, conflict between and within groups, daily protests, supersonic jets booming above.
Outside the direct conflict zones in Gaza and the northern border with Lebanon, preserving and maintaining the seeds of peace is difficult. The AR maintains connection however with numerous groups and individuals throughout Israeli and Palestinian societies, constantly providing support, connection, reminder of our ideals, and hope amidst chaos.
Join us for some time with Ghassan and Abed to hear about how the work is continuing, and what is planned.
