UPDATE: ATFP Advocacy Efforts During the Ongoing Tragic Hostilities

As tragic and appalling hostilities erupted again between Israelis and Palestinians, the American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP) engaged in intensive advocacy efforts to call for an immediate cease-fire to save lives and spare the innocent. On July 8th, ATFP issued a formal press release calling for de-escalation between Israel and the Palestinians.

ATFP's public advocacy included organizing or participating in four high-profile panel discussions, publishing nine major articles, conducting numerous media interviews and on and off the record meetings with decision- and opinion-makers from around the world.
