Join us for a webinar: "The Israeli Annexation Plan: Context and Consequences" June 24th 1:30 pm

The Office of Public Witness, the Ministry at the United Nations, and World Mission
invite you to join us for the first in our new webinar series:


 Global Perspectives
The Israeli Annexation Plan:  Context and Consequences
June 24th 1:30-2:30pm EDT

 
On July 1, the Israeli Government is expected to reveal its annexation plan for the West Bank.  With this plan, Israel is likely to declare sovereignty over all of its settlements in the West Bank – annexing around 30% of the territory.  What does this mean for our Palestinian partners on the ground? How are the United Nations and the international community addressing this unilateral action?  What are the current dynamics in Congress and possible actions members can take to oppose this annexation?  What can you do as Presbyterians to support the human rights and security of our Palestinian partners and further a solution that would bring peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis?
 
Please join us Wednesday, June 24th at 1:30 pm to discuss these pressing issues.
