A call for international justice and peaceful intervention.

In light of the escalating crisis in the Middle East, the International Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers (IFS) has issued a comprehensive statement. As a global movement with over 11,000 member associations, IFS condemns the recent terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas, the suffering of Israeli civilians, and the Israeli state’s attacks in Gaza that have resulted in significant civilian casualties. 

Our statement calls for international justice, an end to violence, and a peaceful intervention by the international community. It underscores our commitment to human rights, peace-building, and the fight against hatred in all its forms, including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and racism. Read our full statement for a deeper insight into our stance and efforts below.
