Yael Admi (Born 1958) is an Israeli peace activist. Admi is a leader and co-founder of Women Wage Peace, an Israeli grassroots peace movement advocating peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict.[1]
After the Gaza War/Operation Protective Edge in 2014, alongside other women such as Vivian Silver, Yael Admi co-founded Women Wage Peace (WWP), urging a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.[2] WWP is Israel's largest grassroots peace movement today, with over 50,000 members. The organization aims to view the situation through a gendered and non-partisan lens by empowering women of diverse backgrounds and unifying different communities.[3] Admi serves as a member of the strategic team of WWP, arranging collaborations with other peace organizations, including a Palestinian women's organization, Women of the Sun (WOS).[4] She also formulated "the Mother's Call," a joint event demanding the war's end with WOS.[5]
Admi has been a peace activist for 40 years. She was the Chairperson of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum.[2] She is a group facilitator specializing in conflict resolution with the Talking Peace organization and a group instructor and organizational consultant for the Adler Institute, where she has served on the Board of Directors since 2006.[2] She introduced the Israeli Knesset, the Bill for Political Alternatives, a legislative initiative mandating the government to consider political alternatives during both peace and wartime.[2] Representing WWP, she was selected as one of Time's 2024 Women of the Year along with Reem Hajajreh, founder and director of Women of the Sun, for their historic partnership.[4]
Admi is also a software engineer and director of development procedures for a leading hi-tech company.[2]
Biography
[edit]Early life
Admi had a brother, Yshai Ron, who was killed in Egypt during the armed conflict between Israel and Egypt. Her mother died of sadness and despair after the loss of her brother. The death of her brother inspired Admi in her activism to devote all her time to making peace.[6]
Admi holds a PhD in Ethics and Dialogue.[2]
Marriage and children
Admi is married to Yoel Admi. She has six children and ten grandchildren.[2]
Political views
[edit]Admi has a strong commitment to advocating for peace and protection of women. She believes in the significance of breaking the cycle of revenge, as it brings nothing good to the world besides revenge.[6] During the bloodshed, the women and children have always paid the highest price. Admi believes that women's voices, especially mothers', are crucial in changing the course of events.[4] She believes that one should go beyond one's pain and achieve the highest level of solidarity and humanity, and refusing to sink into one's private suffering is the only way to end the war. [6]
Women Wage War collaborated with Women of the Sun in organizing a peace march from Bethlehem, crossing the Armon Hanatziv promenade in Jerusalem and finally to the Neve Midbar Beach on the Dead Sea on October 4th, 2023. Many diplomats, peace activists, and about 1.5 thousand women from both Israel and Palestine participated, demanding the end of bloodshed. However, three days later, on October 7th, Hamas attacked Israel, killing over 1.2 thousand people, including a founder of the Women's Wage War, Vivian Silver. The loss of an old friend motivates Admi's activism even further. She believes the tragedy is a chance for people to recognize the brutality of the war and make changes as a community.[6]
Admi's organization does not commit to particular political solutions, believing many peaceful solutions could be possible. The solidarity should include Women from all political orientations and religious traditions.[3] Women should participate more in peacebuilding instead of revenge.[6]
