Paris, France - UPF-France supported the initiative of a young student who raised her voice and organized a gathering in Paris on August 3, 2014, to show a peaceful relationship between Jews and Muslims in France. The theme was "Gathering for Peace, Jews and Muslims, Hand in Hand."
In line with UPF's vision and efforts in the Middle East, the gathering also countered the waves of pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinians demonstrations opposing each other.
Ten Ambassadors for Peace and friends of UPF participated, and one young UPF member helped with the gathering's infrastructure. Several newspapers reported on the gathering for peace: France3, La Croix, Metronews and L'express.
