Recognition of the State of Palestine is not the end — it is the beginning.
The beginning of a different conversation. A new horizon. A life we can finally imagine.
 

We, the undersigned, write to you with open hearts: Do not give up. Let this hope take root. This is the moment we have long awaited.

As the upcoming summit initiated by France and Saudi Arabia approaches, we send this letter in support of your courageous initiative — and in the deep belief that peace begins with justice, with recognition of pain, and with mutual understanding between our two peoples.

The hope we carry grows from pain, loss, and despair - but also from moral responsibility and an unwavering belief that another way is possible. Our voices - the voices of women and mothers in Israel - are voices you will not hear from Netanyahu’s government.

We ask you to listen to us - Israeli citizens, Jewish and Arab women.
Our voice does not speak in the name of any regime or ideology - but in the name of life.

We know all too well that another jet, another tank, another wall - only push peace farther away.
And that a single look in a mother’s eyes is enough to understand: the future must be different.

In the face of voices of detachment, incitement, and the entrenchment of occupation - like those of Netanyahu’s government - we offer a different voice: One that knows pain does not belong to us alone. One that respects the grief of Palestinian mothers too. A voice that believes, with all its heart, that recognition is the key to reconciliation - not a concession, but a responsibility.

It is the voice of those who seek to build a future - not perpetuate the past. We call on you, with urgency and faith: Recognize the State of Palestine. Recognition of Palestine is not a reward for terror - it is a tool to dismantle it. It is a key to breaking the cycle of violence, building an equal partnership, and beginning a process of healing.

It sends a clear message: the solution will not come from bombing — but from mutual recognition of the equal right of both our peoples, Israelis and Palestinians, to live, to choose, and to build a future in dignity. This is the only way to restore hope — for both peoples.
 

There are moments in history when courage is required to choose justice.That moment is now.

Even within Israel, the public is ready for change: 50% of citizens support a political agreement that includes recognition of a Palestinian state (Accord Poll, 2025). The people understand what the government refuses to admit — that recognition is in all our interests: for justice, for security, for sanity, for hope.
 

We, the mothers signing below, fully support and endorse the upcoming summit initiative — and see in it a rare and brave moment with real historical potential.

Please — do not let this hope fade, nor allow us and our children to be dragged back into the cycle of war and death. This moment is now.
