ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN WOMEN CALL FOR IMMEDIATE END 
TO ISRAELI MILITARY AGGRESSION IN GAZA

The International Womens Commission (IWC) for a Just and Sustainable PalestinianIsraeli Peace demands an immediate cessation of the aggression by the Israeli military forces in Gaza , which has already cost hundreds of lives. This slaughter can only further fuel the conflict and quash any remaining hope for peace between the Israeli and Palestinian people.


The IWC calls on the international community, and specifically the Quartet, to immediately deploy an international force to bring an end to this madness, to protect innocent civilians and to alleviate the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza .


The IWC further appeals to the Quartet, and in particular to the incoming US Administration, to press for immediate resumption of peace negotiations based on the Arab Peace Initiative as the only way of bringing an end to the occupation and achieving sustainable peace between Israel and Palestine, and in the region.


The International Women's Commission for a Just and Sustainable PalestinianIsraeli Peace (IWC) comprises Palestinian, Israeli and international women leaders. It was established in 2005 under the auspices of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) as part of efforts to implement UN Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security.
