Sharaka Organization Delegation at BU
Sharaka Organization Delegation at BU: Israeli, Emiratis, Bahrainis, and Moroccans Discuss the New Middle East
The Abraham Accords between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain opened the door to a new era of cooperation and friendship. Sharaka, which means ‘partnership,’ was founded by young leaders from Israel and the Gulf to turn the vision of people-to-people peace into a reality.
On March 29, 2022, the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies was pleased to host members of the Sharaka Delegation from the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Israel at Boston University to discuss “The New Middle East.” During this event, members of the Delegation, Dan Feferman, Chama Mechtaly, Fatema Al Harbi, and Yahya Mahamid, shared information about the work Sharaka does and how they got involved, and the importance of the historic Abraham Accords agreement in advancing peace and stability in the region.
This event was organized in partnership with BU Students for Israel, Hillel, and the Consulate General of Israel to New England.
