Quakers for Peace in Palestine and Israel works to bring about a just and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel. Our work is rooted in the Quaker Peace Testimony and historical Quaker work for justice and equality. We support an immediate ceasefire leading to peace, immediate lifting of limits on humanitarian aid into Gaza, the return of all hostages, fully rebuilding Gaza, Israeli settlers leaving the West Bank and occupied territories in Palestine, and investigation of possible war crimes. Our goal is for Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and freedom.
