More than a dozen female ambassadors and chargés d’affaires heading foreign diplomatic missions in Israel, on Wednesday pledged their support to Women Wage Peace, a grassroots apolitical movement of Israeli and Palestinian women who are working together toward peace, reconciliation and coexistence.
The diplomats announced their support at the residence in Tel Aviv of Canadian Ambassador Deborah Lyons who hosted an International Women’s Day reception for scores of Jewish, Christian and Muslim Women, including MKs, whose goal is to make peace not war.
Hailing the diversity of women from so many backgrounds who are working for peace, Lyons said, “Women do not share one brain. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we support each other.”
