(July 19, 2021 / JNS) Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Monday that while Israel wants to see a peaceful and prosperous Gaza Strip, the Hamas terror organization that rules it seeks the opposite.
A video showing Israeli and Jordanian women embracing and meeting caused an uproar among Jordanians late last month.
It was posted on Israel’s official Arabic-language Facebook page, highlighting an Israeli government-backed initiative called Bless Your Hands.
The initiative purports to “support the socioeconomic and environmental well-being of the communities of Israeli and Jordanian women” in Wadi Araba, an area south of the Dead Sea along the border between Israel and Jordan.
Under the banner of promoting textile handicrafts and business development, the project brings together Israeli and Jordanian women for “meetings and seminars in both Israel and Jordan.”
It involves the Jordanian women collecting and processing wool from local sheep and exporting it to the Israeli women, who then make it into decorative textiles that are priced as high as $1,100 apiece.
