“We’re not stopping until there’s an agreement.”
That is the rallying cry of thousands of Israeli women who are set to begin on Tuesday a two-week-long march advocating for a peace agreement between Israel and Palestinians. Those taking part in the “March of Hope” include luminaries from Israeli politics and culture alongside Palestinian and Jordanian women, as well as Nobel Peace Prize laureate Leymah Gbowee, who appeared onstage last October at the Women in the World London Summit. Several marches will take place all around Israel over the next two weeks and the concerted effort will culminate on October 19 with a large rally outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu’s residence in Jerusalem.
