| UK Friends of the Abraham Fund Initiatives,
in co-operation with the Foreign Press Association
present Moving Forward After Gaza: What next for Jewish-Arab coexistence in Israel? A briefing by Mohammad Darawshe Director of the Abraham Fund |
Event Description The Gaza war has generated a public outcry, with thousands taking to the streets in London and around the world. In Israel, tensions between the Jewish and Arab communities have risen, threatening current cooperation efforts. From a unique perspective of a coexistence organisation between the Jewish and Arab communities, director Mohammad Darawshe of the Abraham Fund Initiatives will address the situation on the ground. He will outline the much needed action from governments and other agencies and will provide examples of tried and tested model projects already successfully implemented, which demonstrate that coexistence can work, but needs to be supported. About Mohammad Darawshe Mr Darawshe has been the Director of the Abraham Fund Initiatives since 2005 and he has presented lectures and papers at many international and academic institutions such as the U.S. congress, the European parliament, NATO Defense College, the World Economic Forum, and most recently the Herzlia Conference. He won numerous awards, including the Peacemaker award, bestowed by the Catholic Theological Union of Chicago and the Peace and Security Award of the World Association of NGOs. In 2008, he was elected as a council member of his own hometown Iksal. UK friends of the Abraham Fund |

Via Michelin | GoogleUK Friends of The Abraham Fund Initiatives was set up to support the work of the Abraham Fund in Israel. Our aim is to raise awareness in the UK of the importance of the Fund's work and to provide financial and other support to The Abraham Fund in Israel.
Our members include Jews, Muslims, Christians and members of other communities in the UK who are united in the belief that Israel can and should be both a homeland for the Jewish people and a democratic state for all its citizens, Jews and Arabs alike.
We believe that in an increasingly global and multicultural world, the UK has lessons to learn from Israel as well as vice versa.
