(July 12, 2024 / JNS) A group of two dozen Moroccan social media influencers and young professionals are visiting Israel this week seeking to promote people-to-people peace.

The Muslim delegation in the Holy Land, which was organized by the Sharaka (Arabic for “Partnership”) nongovernmental organization, aims to build on the historic peace agreement signed between the two countries four years ago and serve as a counterweight to the vehemently anti-Israel reporting being broadcast around the world.

“In a world where nuance and balanced opinion have vanished, and where words like ‘Holocaust,’ ‘genocide’ and ‘massacre’ are being used left and right by people with more than questionable intentions, we must see the truth with our own eyes,” said delegation member and Casablanca resident Achraf Ibra, 29, during a gala event at Jerusalem’s Friends of Zion Museum on Tuesday night.
