voices of determination: ziv stahl
Meet Ziv Stahl, Executive Director of Yesh Din
“We must stop this cycle of death. We must invest all of our power and energy in the end game: how to build a peaceful and secure future for all who live in this place.”
On October 7th, Ziv Stahl was visiting her sister’s home in kibbutz Kfar Aza, where she grew up. She sheltered in place for hours that day, only to emerge into a scene of death and destruction. Ziv, who is the Executive Director of NIFC project partner Yesh Din – Volunteers for Human Rights, lost her sister-in-law in the attack.
In the weeks and months since, Ziv has continued to lead Yesh Din in their work to protect human rights in the West Bank. She says, “All the military might on earth will not provide defense and security. A political solution is the only way — we are obligated to try, and we must begin this work today.”
