Aim
Create a framework of reconciliation between the 2 peoples that takes into account that any peace agreement must include an infrastructure for the process of reconciliation; work towards an end to violence and towards achieving an accepted political agreement; influence the public and the political decision makers to choose dialogue and the path of peace over violence and war in order to achieve a just settlement based on empathy and understanding; avoid the use of bereavement for further violence and retribution.
History
The PCFF was established in 1995 - by Mr. Yitzhak Frankental and several bereaved Israeli families. In 1998 the first meetings were held with a group of Palestinians families from Gaza who identified with the call to prevent further bereavement through dialogue, tolerance, peace and reconciliation.
IRD Activities
- Interfaith Workshop
A three days workshop to PCFF members has been organized in Talitha Kumi. Under their guidance we learned how to approach religious sectors, a new aspect of our work. At night the Palestinians invited their Israeli friends for a walk in Bethlehem which ended with a sweet and delicious Kanafeh dessert.
