This past month, OneVoice youth from Israel, Palestine, and the international community brought their message before an array of world leaders, challenging them with their demands for progress at the negotiations table and their visions for a better future:

 

·         OneVoice Youth Challenge World Leaders with Vision for Future at World Economic Forum in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

 

Ø  OVI Youth Leaders Meet Defense Minister Barak & OVP Leaders Meet Prime Minister Fayyad

Ø  Gamal Mubarak Encourages OV to Continue its Work

Ø  Tony Blair Applauds Youth Leaders' Visions for 2018

 

·         On the Ground in Israel & Palestine:

 

Ø  OneVoice Israel to the Leadership: Sit Down & Negotiate! Travelling "Chair" Exhibit Draws Hundreds

Ø  OneVoice Palestine: Building Partnerships with Civil Society Groups, Strengthening Network

 

·         Live from Jerusalem: Global Town Hall Meeting Attracts 1200+ Students

 

·         OneVoice Europe Meets with British Foreign Secretary: "Change needs bottom-up mobilisation"

 

·         OV Gathers International Board to Strategize for the Coming Months:

 

Ø  OV Meets with Members of Knesset from across political spectrum: Yoel Hasson, Avishay Braverman, Ephraim Sneh offer advice & encouragement

Ø  Palestinian leaders from West Bank & Gaza – Qaddura Fares, Mohammad Najah, Azzam al-Shawwa, Samir Huleileh, & others – host OV staff & international Board in Ramallah

 

One of the greatest challenges facing the current negotiations process is the lack of connection between the leadership and the street. If the leaders are to be successful and deliver on their commitment to reach an agreement by the end of the year, the people on both sides will need to feel invested in and connected to the process. Only then will they be able to build back the trust they have lost after years of missed opportunities and empty promises.  OneVoice is working to serve as the catalyst, as the connector – bridging the gap between the leaders and the people.
