Dear Yeung,
The United States recently extended an invitation to Israel and the Palestinian Authority to re-start direct talks. Both sides accepted.
Tomorrow, Israel and the Palestinian Authority will begin their first direct negotiations in nearly two years. To say that a lot is riding on the outcome, would be the understatement of the century.
Divisions between Israel and Palestinians have made this
one of the world's most intractable conflicts. The blockade on the tiny strip of land is about 130 square miles (approximately the size of Las Vegas, Nevada) and
traps more than 1.5 million Palestinian men, women, and children within its boundaries. The Gaza Strip has served to spark more tension and hostility as well as worsen an already dire humanitarian situation.
But we can do something about it. Your letters and postcards have a tremendous impact when we pool them together and deliver them personally. So that's exactly what we're going to do -
all you have to do is sign and send a postcard.
When we reach 10,000 postcards, we'll hand deliver them to the White House. Your postcard can help build the pressure that we need to shine a light on the people of Gaza.
