Charlotte Jacobson, president of the Jewish National Fund of America, called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to participate in planting a peace forest, on the Israel-Egyptian border.
Jacobson raised the idea at the end session of the JNF Assembly last week. She said the project would express the wish of the two peoples to coexist in peace, and it would allow Israeli and Egyptian citizens to raise their children without the fear of wars and hostile acts.
