Update from Daoud Nassar

May 15, 2023

Dear Friends,

This is a short update about the court session today regarding the re-registration of our farm.

The committee heard the testimony of our neighboring landowners regarding the ownership of our land. The neighbors testified that they have always known that my father is the owner of the land adjacent to their land ever since they were children. One neighbor who is 82 years old, testified that he has been farming his land for 68 years, ever since he was 14 when his father died. He has always known my father as the owner and witnessed him and then his children working the land throughout this period. The other neighbor also testified that he has always known that we are his neighbors ever since he was a small child.

The committee also heard the testimony of a land expert witness on our behalf who testified that the land deeds provide undisputed proof of our ownership of the land.

The land reregistration committee set another date for the continuation of the testimony of the neighbors and my own testimony for the 6th of September 2023.

I want to thank you for all your prayers, for your solidarity with our just cause and for your continuous support.

The journey for justice will continue with faith, love and hope.

Blessings,
Daoud

FOTONNA Update Prior to May 15 Re-Registration Hearing
May 2, 2023

Daoud in Washington, DC

Over the last two weeks, Daoud Nassar met in person in Washington, DC with officials of the State Department and in 16 Congressional offices. He shared the Tent of Nations story, emphasized the imminent danger of its confiscation, and asked these individuals to use their influence to ensure that the May 15 re-registration hearing is held.

A warm note of gratitude to the many FOTONNA family members who arranged these visits for Daoud with elected and State Department officials! Your groundwork was key to his productive schedule of meetings! We can’t know when justice will come to all God’s children of Israel and Palestine; your ongoing dedication and actions are key to this progress. Thank you!
