Press Statement on the Summit of Religious Leaders for Peace in the Middle East – Spain

The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations sponsored the Summit of Religious Leaders for Peace in the Middle East, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain in Alicante, Spain on 15-16 November, 2016. The summit brought together more than twenty religious leaders of the most senior influential religious figures from the Middle East, particularly from the Palestinian territories and Israel, to engage in interreligious dialogue in support of tolerance and mutual respect and to voice their rejection of extremist ideologies. Key players who have been skeptical or opposed to peace in the Middle East were invited to engage in the dialogue for peace.
