As part of our series, Working for Peace in the Holy Lands, our guest is Gili Getz, President of the Board of American Friends of Combatants for Peace.
Combatants for Peace (CfP) is a grassroots movement of Palestinians and Israelis, who work together to end the occupation and bring peace, equality and freedom to their homeland. CfP is the only movement worldwide founded by former fighters on both sides of an active conflict and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 and 2018. American Friends of Combatants for Peace seeks to amplify the work of CfP and serves as a fiscal sponsor for the CfP movement in Israel and Palestine.
Gili Getz is a former military photographer for the Israeli army and is published regularly in the Jewish and Israeli press.
