Palestinian Christians

CMEP advocates for Palestinian Christians. As the years pass without a peace agreement, lack of freedom of movement and deterioration of local economies drive Palestinian Christians to emigrate in large numbers. Through our supporters, CMEP consistantly brings Palestinian Christians' plight and hopes of peace to the attention of lawmakers and policy makers in Congress and the White House.
