International work

Israel and Palestine

Quakers manage the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI). This brings people from around the world to the West Bank to offer protective presence to vulnerable communities and to monitor and report human rights abuses. The accompaniers join Palestinians and Israelis who work in non-violent ways for peace.
