Americans for Peace Now (APN) is well known for its deeply engaging trips to Israel and Palestine. Never has the need to discuss the Occupation, democracy, and the future of both Israel and a Palestinian state been more important. It is a critical moment in Israel’s history, and we are eager to take you with us to see firsthand what is happening and to learn from our allies on the ground, including a Settlement Watch tour led by our partners at Shalom Achshav.
Our 2024 trip will include meetings with Israeli and Palestinian-elected officials and civil society leaders, activists and protest organizers, and visits to West Bank settlements and Palestinian towns and villages. We will spend time in the north, visiting with Palestinian-Israeli communities and leaders, as well as learning about the complexity of life in mixed cities.
We will be staying at the American Colony, East Jerusalem’s most famous and picturesque hotel, at the beautiful Dan Carmel in Haifa, and beachside at the scenic Dan Tel Aviv hotel.
We hope you will join us for a unique travel experience – one that brings together the sights and sounds of Israel-Palestine alongside cogent and important conversations about the political, social, and cultural questions surrounding today’s quest for peace.
