Lobby 1701 is a citizens' group that has appealed to the international community to demand the implementation of United Nations Resolution 1701. The resolution called for a permanent ceasefire between the Iranian-backed proxy group, Hezbollah, and Israel, which ended the Second Lebanon War in 2006. It also specified the creation of a demilitarized zone between Israel's northern border and the Litani River in Lebanon. Despite the presence of UNIFIL, the United Nations International Force in Lebanon, Hezbollah has violated Resolution 1701 for the past 17 years, turning southern Lebanon into its stronghold with an estimated 150'000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel. Since October 7, some 80'000 residents have been evacuated from 43 communities in the Upper Galilee and northern Israel. Lobby 1701 is calling on the international community to use all its diplomatic means to pressure Hezbollah to abide by Resolution 1701 and withdraw its forces to the Litani River.

"Yad Labanim was founded in 1949, immediately after the War of Independence. We are a non-political, non-military organization working with the entire spectrum of Israeli society. Yad Labanim is the only organization that works to perpetuate the memory of Israel's fallen heroes, helping their families establish a living legacy in their honor. We provide assistance, guidance, and counseling to grieving families from every sector of Israeli society, including Jewish, Circassian, Bedouin, and Druze Israelis, creating a community that embraces and supports them every step of their lives. Members of the organization are bereaved parents and siblings who volunteer their time and experience to help each other." (source)

William Garrison, 16 March 2025

The word shalva means: peace of mind / serenity (We bring peace of mind to the families of children and adults with disabilities). The word shalva is mentioned once in the Bible, in Psalms 122:7 (Yehi shalom bechilch, shalva barmonotech – May there be peace within your wall, shalva, serenity within your palaces).
