Netanyahu has completely lost it. How can the funder of Hamas accuse Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron, the President of France, of supporting Hamas? He’s truly gone mad. Macron supports Israel. Macron, like everyone else, wants the war to end. Macron wants Hamas to return the hostages and disarm. Macron sent planes to Israel against the Iranian attacks. Macron held a national memorial for the 40 murdered Israelis with French citizenship who were killed on October 7th. He met with all the families of the French-citizen hostages many times. He met with the partners Ehud Olmert and Nasser al-Qudwa (Former Foreign Affairs Minister of the Palestinian National Authority) and supported their peace initiative. Macron is pro-Israel but also pro-Palestine and the right of the Palestinian people to independence from occupation. He supports Israel’s right to defend itself. He is a true friend of Israel.
Gershon Baskin
Gershon Baskin is one of the most recognizable names in the Middle East Peace process. He is a political and social entrepreneur who has dedicated his life to peace between Israel and its neighbors. His dedication to creating a culture of peace and environmental awareness, coupled with his impeccable integrity, has earned him the trust of the leaders of all sides of the century old conflict. Few people have such far-reaching and positive impacts on promoting peace, security, prosperity and bi-national relationships. Gershon is an advisor to Israeli, Palestinian and International Prime Ministers on the Middle East Peace Process and the founder and director of IPCRI, the Israeli-Palestinian Public Policy Institute. He was the initiator and negotiator of the secret back channel between Israel and Hamas for the release of 1,027 prisoners – mainly Palestinians and Arab-Israelis of which 280 were sentenced to life in prison, including Yahya Sinwar, the current Palestinian leader of the Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The prisoners were imprisoned for planning and perpetrating various attacks against Jewish targets that resulted in the killing of 569 Israelis in exchange for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Schalit. Gershon is actively involved in research and advocacy concerning topics such as social policy, environmental security, political strategy, peace education, economics, culture and in the development of affordable solar projects with the goal of providing clean electricity for 50 million people by 2020. He is a founding member of Kol Ezraheiha-Kol Muwanteneiha (All of the Citizens) political party in Israel. He is now directing The Holy Land Bond and is the Middle East Director for ICO – International Communities Organization - a UK based NGO working in conflict zones with failed peace processes.
