In late April, we held a two-day seminar for the “Geneva Ambassadors” program of Arab women leaders, including a geopolitical tour of Jerusalem and the role it plays in the conflict, a workshop on the core issues and proposed solutions in the Geneva Initiative model, and a day of discussions with Palestinian women in Ramallah to strengthen ties and understanding, providing a channel of dialogue through a community that is constantly exposed to the narratives, pain, and sensitivities of both Israelis and Palestinians. Our participants came out of the seminar motivated and determined to apply the information and connections gained to their own peace-building work and initiatives.
