In their own words
We truly believe Iranians and Israelis must return to cooperation dating back 2,500 years, when Cyrus the Great allowed Jews to build the Second Temple.
We in Israel also support him, because we see the people of Iran standing with him.
The Iranian people are not alone. We are here to respond, to offer solutions, and to build a better shared future.
