If there is one thing our Palestinian partners need more than ever right now, it’s the presence of international visitors. They are begging for us to come. So, for those who are contemplating a visit to the West Bank, now is the time. The Indiana Center for Middle East Peace is currently recruiting travelers for their upcoming solidarity tour, which will be from May 4-16, 2025. Highlights of the tour will be meetings with some of the most prominent peace and justice activists and leaders in both Israel and Palestine, including Issa Amro, Jeff Halper, Daoud Nasser, Muther Isaac, Iyad Burnat, Gideon Levy, Nathan Thrall, and many, many others. 

Travelers will also get an opportunity to visit some of the holiest and most important sites of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, including the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall in Jerusalem, Qumran, and the Sea of Galilee, among others.
