Over 2,000 women from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Europe came together to show the power of sport both as an international language to build bridges and as a tool to empower women. Our Peace Team was comprised of talented women from Israel and the West Bank who did a great job of showing the world what we can accomplish when we work together.
