* Holy Land Confederation
The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict has been overshadowed by other, global crises in the past years. Prospects to finding a solution appear to diminish. The recent formation of a new Israeli government – following the fifth parliamentary election since 2019 – and a weakening legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority do not, unfortunately, point to an imanent negotiated and accepted solution.
On 8th February 2023 we are hosting the initiators of the Holy Land Confederation. In their initiative, they offer a new contribution to thinking about how to untangle the conflict. We look forward to hearing first hand from the initiators and discuss their ideas on the panel and with the audience.

Mit dem Blick auf die orthodoxe Welt, für die heute das Christfest beginnt, sei auf eine Initiative des Weltkircherates verwiesen, der seit vielen Jahre die Menschen durch das Jahr begleitet und einlädt, jede Woche eine neue Region der Welt virtuell zu besuchen und die auf die Probleme und Herausforderungen der Menschen dort zu schauen.
Die Woche vom 01. – 07. Januar 2023 nimmt Ägypten, Israel, Jordanien, Libanon und Palästina in den Blick.
Wieder einmal ein lesenswerter Beitrag auf Qantara.de – und ein neuer Beleg dafür wie kurzsichtig und falsch es ist, an dieser Stelle Mittel der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik einzusparen: Lernen, hinhören, differenzieren <und nicht vergessen>!
„Fahrradfahren gilt für Frauen im Gaza-Streifen als unschicklich. Nur an einem Ort können sie es lernen: bei Rania Shaik. Sie will den Frauen helfen, mit dem Fahrradfahren auch ein bisschen Freiheit zu erleben.“ Von Ziad Bakri
Al-Shabaka, das PalestinianPolicyNetwork hat auf seiner Seite ein neues ‚Tool‘ freigeschaltet, eine Scenario Matrix für die Westbank und Gaza – mit seiner Hilfe läßt sich strukturiert(er) betrachten und bedenken, welche Optionen es für die palästinensische Seite (noch) gibt …
Newborn lion cubs were put on display at a zoo in Gaza City, a day after they were born to a mother lion who had in the past suffered miscarriages. Children who visited the small Nama Zoo on Saturday were permitted to pet the day-old cubs, which each weighed about 700 grams, or under two pounds. The zoo, which is home to birds, monkeys, deer, foxes, wolves and hyenas, is run by a private charity, allowing it to better care for its animals. Private zoos have had a harder time caring for its animals, leading some to starve to death and others to be killed by airstrikes in the coastal strip. Some large animals were evacuated by rescue organizations to animal sanctuaries in other countries.Employees present three newly born lion cubs at Nama Zoo in Gaza City, on August 12, 2022.

EIn Waffenstillstand, oder sollte man:frau besser sagen, eine Waffenkampfpause ist eingetreten und scheint aktuell zu halten.
Zur Situation im Gazstreifen das Friedensdorf eine Erkärung beschlossen und einen Aufruf.
Neve Shalom • Wahat al-Salam: Stop the attacks on Gaza!
We in the village of Wahat al-Salam / Neve Shalom call for an end to Israel’s attacks on Gaza. The one that has just ended was the fifth in recent years. We condemn every incidence of murderous military action against civilians.
Palestinians and Israelis everywhere deserve to live in safety without suffering and unnecessary grief. We all need a real peace that allows both peoples to enjoy well-being and freedom. …
From our village, we hear the booms and explosions from missile attacks and see the war planes on their way to bombing locations in Gaza. …
We are therefore initiating an emergency campaign to raise funds to send new supplies and equipment to Gaza hospitals. … The delivery will be carried out by Dr. Raid Haj Yehia, a WASNS resident who, in his capacity as a member of Physicians for Human Rights, makes regular journeys to Gaza for the purpose of providing treatment and delivering medical supplies.
