Israelis and Palestinians Share Kosher Iftar Meal in West Bank

(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank held a kosher Ramadan Iftar celebration in Hebron in a large, colorful tent set up outside the home of Hebron businessman Ashraf Jabari. Israeli religious Jews shook hands and even hugged Palestinian and Israeli-Arab businessmen, just as if peace had already sprung. Then everyone sat down to a kosher meal catered from the nearby Israeli town of Kiryat Arba. The event was organized by the Judea and Samaria Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a joint Israeli-Palestinian group that wants to strengthen economic ties between Palestinians and Jews in the West Bank. Jabari addressed the group in Arabic, saying, "We want to build a united front to create a breakthrough on the economic issue. We are issuing a clear call to separate between economics and politics.... Breaking the fast together, at a joint meal in the city of Hebron, clearly symbolizes our ability to bridge any type of gaps."
