The caucus was conceived and co-created by OneVoice Israel (OVI) — the local arm of the international grassroots movement OneVoice — and MK Yoel Hasson (Kadima), chairman of the State Control Committee and himself a former OVI youth leader. It aims to forge a moderate bloc within the Knesset committed to the two-state solution and keep pressure on the Israeli government to achieve this goal.
Among the other caucus members are MK Nino Abesadze, Zeev Bielski, Shlomo Molla, Nachman Shai, and Orit Zuaretz. All of them have united under a nonpartisan body to advance a direct political solution with the Palestinians.
"We all know the outline of the agreement, but what is missing is a courageous leadership that can make the hard decisions both here in Israel and the Palestinian Authority," said Caucus Chairman Hasson. "Both parties need to recognize that we aren't going to get our full dream, but together we may be able to get the best part of it."
