Dear friends of Tent of Nations all over the world,
Thank you so much for your prayers and for the advocacy letters you sent
on behalf of us to your government, Embassies and to the Israeli
officials and government. It is wonderful to see how many people in the
world are committed to work for justice and do care about us and about
the Tent of Nations.
Since Thursday, the day we received the nine demolishing orders and
until today, Monday the 31^st of May 10.00 pm, we are still under
pressure hoping that the Army won't come and destroy our structures.
Sunday and Monday were two long days for us, but thank God no
destruction or dismantling of any developments or renovations took place.
It is wonderful to see how many people came to visit us yesterday and
today to show their solidarity with us. We pray and hope that things
will change and the sun of justice will rise again.
Our lawyer appealed to stop the demolishing orders, he sent the Appeal
by Fax to the Israeli military authority and got the confirmation that
it was received. Our situation will continue to be critical and our
structures will continue to be under threat of destruction until we
receive a paper from the military authority says that our Appeal is
being accepted.
The letters of advocacy that were sent to political officials in many
countries and the fast reaction of our attorney who immediately
challenged the demolition order in the Israeli court are the two
strategies we are following to challenge and stop the demolishing
orders. With your prayers and support, we are sure that we will succeed.
It is a big support for the Tent of Nations to have so many friends all
over the world who are standing against this injustice. Please remember
that Faith, love and hope are keeping our spirit high and are giving us
the strength to continue this just struggle and we will never give up.
Please forward my E-mail to all your friends.
Blessings and Salaam,
Daoud
