Goal

We are outraged to learn of the Ministry of Education’s decision to expel the Parents Circle’s Dialogue Meeting program from its database of approved external high school programs (GEFEN).

While this decision impacts the bereaved families who lost their closest loved ones, it primarily hurts our youth and Israeli society as a whole.

The outrageous decision is a deliberate attempt to deny Israeli students the opportunity to learn about the human cost of the conflict on both sides and the opportunity to cultivate peace.

Other threats we're facing

  1. Threats to schools that invite the PCFF, including threats to local authorities
  2. Preventing Palestinians from entering Israel using the powers of the Civil Administration
  3. Imposing restrictions and threats against Palestinian members
Despite these challenges, the PCFF remains committed to promoting peace and reconciliation and is now struggling to continue its work. Your support will help the PCFF maintain its voice in conflict resolution efforts.

How We Are Fighting Back

    • Legal Action: We will challenge regulatory restrictions and arbitrary decisions through legal proceedings and orders, and obtain legal protection for the organization and its employees.

    • Communications: We will raise visibility through media channels, public relations, crisis management communication; disseminate content, such as videos, podcasts, and ads, on social and commercial networks.

    • Advocacy: We will leverage external lobby consulting and pressure in Knesset and local government and municipalities
