Our representatives are active all around the world on issues related to progressive Zionism, progressive Judaism, the peace process, and local social and political struggles.Within Israel particularly but in other countries as well, our movement is a significant supporter of human rights within the State of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, campaigns for full civil rights for all citizens (including Israeli Arab citizens, women, LGBT, pensioners...), shares concern on environmental and animal welfare issues, and most importantly, strongly supports an open peace process between Palestinians and Israelis for a two-state solution.The World Union of Meretz is represented at the world Zionist Congress and representation is determined by the faction key and depends on the size of the congress.
