Musalaha is a non-profit organization that promotes and facilitates reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. For those who have a common faith, we advocate and facilitate reconciliation encounters among Israeli and Palestinian believers based on the life and teaching of Jesus.
