HEARTLAND INITIATIVE ENDORSEMENTS.
HEARTLAND INITIATIVE ENDORSEMENTS.
Dr. Mordechai Kedar
Researcher at the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Bar Ilan University, Israel. IDF Lt. Col. (Res)
"As an academic and scholar, I am happy to see the Heartland Initiative translates so much of what I teach and believe into real and measurable impact. Ideas are not meant to only be written down, but to be implemented on the ground. This is why I both endorse Heartland Initiative and am active in contributing to their programming."

Pedram Bral, MD
Mayor of the Village of Great Neck, NY
"Bringing people together on a grassroots level is how I envision the way to real peace. Through Heartland Initiative, I personally have had the honor to build bridges and dialogue with a number of community leaders throughout Israel's Heartland and beyond. Heartland Initiative provides the village of Great Neck, NY with a bright future of friendship and real connections. I look forward to expanding these connections and my work with Heartland Initiative."

Fleur Hassan-Nahoum
Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem
"In ancient times, the center of the Jewish State, Jerusalem, was surrounded by the Jewish communities of Samaria, Binyamin, Judea and the Jordan Valley. And today, just like in ancient times, in order to strengthen our capital city, we must also strengthen and secure our heartland. This is why I support and endorse Heartland Initiative."

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner
Lawyer, President of Shurat HaDin
"Historical and legal Jewish rights to Judea, Samaria, Binyamin and the Jordan Valley would be irrelevant if it weren't for the people on the ground who are actualizing these rights. With much of the world opinion opposing basic Jewish human and national rights, we must support those, both in the courtroom and on the ground, who are fighting for these rights. I am happy to see Heartland Initiative facing these same challenges with me."

Amb. Danny Ayalon
Former Israeli Ambassador to the US. Former Deputy Defense Minister
"Misinformation and disinformation are Israel's number one enemy. As someone who has worked to spread the truth about Israel for decades, I am happy to take part in Heartland Initiative activities. They open up a wide door for people to come to the regions of Judea and Samaria, to not only see and experience the truth about the region, but to take part in its development."

Brigadier General IDF (Ret.) Amir Avivi
Founder and CEO of IDSF – Habithonistim movement
"As a military expert I can say, without a doubt, that the security and future of the state of Israel is reliant on our ability to secure Israel's Heartland. While many believe that security comes from military personal alone, the truth is, it comes from the residents of the region. Because Heartland Initiative seeks to strengthen life in the region, it is therefore of national security importance. I fully support and endorse their activities."
