A Letter from Abdulrahman, A Gazan Grantee

I want to send an important message to the world, mainly to US Administration, that they succeeded to solve the problem of 7 Fulbrighters from Gaza, but there are hundreds of other Palestinian students and scholars who are trapped in Gaza and cannot reach their universities and institutions in the USA and other Western Countries.

I also want to add that the contacts that these Fellowships and exchange programs provide between liberal educated people in Gaza and the outside world are the bridges on which future peace might be built. Destroying these bridges is not in anyone's interests and it is certainly not in Israel's security interests. An educated public in Gaza is the bedrock on which a two state solution might be built one day. Without that bedrock, peace will be built on a very weak foundation."

Thank
you,

Abdulrahman
