Arava Institute for Environmental Studies

Dedicated to advancing cross-border environmental cooperation in the face of political conflict.

[Steffen Seibert @GerAmbTLV]

On this day of joy @AravaInstitute, their Palestinian partner Damour and former minister Tamar Zandberg came to the Embassy. Israeli-Palestinian-Jordanian cooperation on environmental challenges for the whole region. Still something rare, one day quite normal, I hope.

Must read! "The Environmental-Humanitarian Impacts of the War in Gaza" - this is a devastating report from a research institute inside Israel - even when the violence stops - the lingering health effects will be horrific for years!
This war must end.

“At one of the darkest moments in Israel’s history, while our own brothers and sisters are suffering, our humanity is tested by our ability to recognize human suffering in the faces of our neighbors.” - Rachel Kalikow, @AravaInstitute

Eilon Adar: We must have mutual recognition that water must be kept beyond conflict.

[Arava Institute for Environmental Studies @AravaInstitute]

@BernardAmadei : I have a hard time with the concept of "the day after."
It is not the day after that we are after, it is the day now and what matters is what we do now.

[Arava Institute for Environmental Studies @AravaInstitute]

Eilon Adar: If we look towards the future, we are facing the challenge to create a sustainable water supply to Gaza. Politically and morally it is wrong to have a thirsty neighbor.
