🧵ON NEW ALLMEP/REMESH POLL: Large majority of Americans — including MAGA voters — want the U.S. to play a bigger role in ending the Gaza war and securing *real* Israeli-Palestinian regional peace deal 1/

.@ALLMEP Thank you UK Friends of the Parents Circle Families Forum for bringing such remarkable, humane, unforgettable speakers here. Israelis and Palestinians who have lost loved ones in the conflict and choose dialogue and peace over hatred and revenge. "We can change reality."

I was really honoured to chair this powerful discussion tonight on Empowering Civil Society: Palestinian and Israeli voices for a shared future. Put together by the @LabourFPG MENA Forum with @ALLMEP and Solutions Not Sides , and kindly hosted in Parliament by @laurakyrkesmith MP

Palestinian Peace Activist Ali Abu Awwad of @FriendsTaghyeer, who joined us at #PPF2025 roundtable, interviewed on @FRANCE24: "Instead of just ceasing the war, we need to cease the conflict" https://t.co/eLMVTKuMYO

We were proud to meet and stand next to the inspiring journalist, activist, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate @TawakkolKarman. Together, we must shape the future we all deserve — a future of peace. @AzizAbuSarah #oyw25 @OneYoungWorld

At #PPF2025 @ParisPeaceForum MENA Director at the French Foreign Ministry Romaric Roignan @francediplo spoke w/ @AzizAbuSarah, Yael Barda of @2states1homelan and Nivine Sandouka of ALLMEP on the essential role of civil society in shaping diplomacy. Here's his take 👉

Privileged to moderate a panel today at @ParisPeaceForum with @francediplo_EN MENA Dir. Romaric Roignan, @2states1homelan @AzizAbuSarah & @nivine_S — on how deeper (civil society) & broader (multilateral) diplomacy can advance Israeli-Palestinian peace. 🎥

ALLMEP's #PPF2025 @ParisPeaceForum Panel 'Civil Society as Pillar of Multilateral Process' focused on centering CS as key diplomatic approach @AzizAbuSarah:"Peacemakers *must* be at the table...Peacemaker's role is not only in civil society, but also in the diplomatic world."

“For 20yrs, people stopped talking about a political vision or a better future. Our work provides political vision, but also a role for ordinary people in making it reality.” Rula Hardel of @ALLMEP member @2states1homelan at @ParisPeaceForum roundtable on conflict transformation

Excited to attend 8th @ParisPeaceForum. Alongside @ALLMEP colleagues & members. Inc @2states1homelan who— along with ALLMEP’s AI Pulse polling— are among this year’s selected projects. We’ll also have panel & roundtable on I/P civil society. If you’re there: reach out and say hi!

🧵11/11 Through them, I found a network of over 60 Israeli and Palestinian peace-building organizations, among them Standing Together, ALLMEP, Women Wage Peace and Women of the Sun https://t.co/FcHshUdMWq

New Article Spotlight: Can Environmental Diplomacy Build Peace in the Middle East? Despite challenges, Israelis and Palestinians have successfully continued to collaborate on environmental projects. By David Lehrer @AravaInstitute. Read here: https://t.co/oHyXNI9BKN

A huge thank you to @AnnelieseDodds for chairing, to all speakers for their impactful testimony, to co-chairs @AlexBallingerMP and @LordMcConnell, to @mercycorps_uk and @SFCG_EU and all APPG members for making this event possible.

To scale up, these initiatives need support. Our conversation highlighted the need to mobilise international resources for civil society on the ground - which is why advancing @Keir_Starmer's pledge on the International Fund for Israeli-Palestinian Peace is so critical today.

Dr. Oppenheimer, Dr. Hardal, and Samah Salaime shared their vision and transformative initiatives—from addressing settlement expansion in Jerusalem, to advancing new frameworks for a durable political horizon, to building cooperation rooted in equality and mutual recognition.

The all-women panel featured Dr. Yudith Oppenheimer (Ir Amim), Dr. Rula Hardal (A Land for All), and @Samah_Salaime (Wahat al-Salam – Neve Shalom), alongside Rachael Liss (ALLMEP), in an impactful conversation chaired by @AnnelieseDodds.

On Tuesday, @IrAmimAlerts, @2states1homelan, @oasis_of_peace and ALLMEP joined @AnnelieseDodds MP and the APPG on Conflict Prevention, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding, for a powerful discussion on civil society in Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution.

An empowering day in Nazareth hosting Ambassador Michael Mann (@MichaelMannEU) and his team on my "Creating Hope" tour. It was a chance to share the core lesson from my 20 + years of experience here: a shared future begins with knowing the other's narrative, and true security

In times of acute trauma, how do peacebuilders respond? In Palestine-Israel Journal, ALLMEP’s Doubi Schwartz analyzes Palestinian & Israeli civil society after Oct 7. Despite the crisis, grassroots groups grew more strategic in advancing peace. Read: https://t.co/4aiCesJMsV

Yesterday in Bet Jala, over 80 ALLMEP members gathered to discuss civil society's role in efforts toward a regional peace deal that includes a Palestinian state Sharing strategy and resources is key to coalition building. We're glad to put ALLMEP member's expertise into action!

This week, PM @Keir_Starmer restated importance of cross-community work, responding to @DannyBeales MP important Q. The Int Fund for Peace, pledged by the PM in Dec, is the UK’s tool to make this happen. Aligned with Point 18 of Trump’s Peace Plan, the UK should launch it ASAP
