Yael Admi    

Founder of the Israeli Movement Women Wage Peace & Nobel Prize Nominee

Yael Admi stands as a beacon of hope in the midst of a longstanding conflict, evidenced in her role as a co-founder and leader of the Israeli movement, Women Wage Peace. This organization, boasting a membership of 50,000 individuals across Israel, is a testament to Admi's vision and determination. Inspired by a personal loss during the fighting between Egypt and Israel in 1969, she has been channeling her pain into a quest for peace and non-violence.

Not only has Admi excelled in galvanizing public support within Israel, but she has also bridged barriers, forming a historic partnership with Reem Hajajreh, the founder and director of the Palestinian organization, Women of the Sun. Their joint endeavor, advocating for a nonviolent resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has been recognized on a global scale. A testament to their efforts is their joint nomination for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize and their being named TIME's Women of the Year.

Admi and Hajajreh's advocacy extends well beyond their respective organizations. They were invited to speak at the French Parliament, emphasizing the need for Israeli and Palestinian leaders to return to negotiations and political agreements. Their belief in the power of women's participation in peace negotiations, and their joint declaration, the Mothers' Call, speaks volumes about their shared commitment to lasting peace.
