Congress allocated up to $250 million for people-to-people peace-building efforts.

The MEPPA fund has engaged more than 10,000 people, sustaining its work even as the Israel -Hamas war has undone or strained other peace efforts.

MEPPA is named after longtime Jewish lawmaker who championed peace.

The appetite for peace-building efforts appears suppressed on all sides of the Israeli -Palestinian conflict.

In Israel , the governing coalition hinges on hardliners skeptical of diplomacy.

The U.S. under Trump has officially abandoned a commitment to a two -state solution, while retreating from the historic role America has played in intervening abroad.

U.S. Jewish groups have been actively engaging with the Trump administration to push for MEPPA’s continuation and gain clarity on its fate.

The American Jewish Committee said the fund is vital for Israeli -Arab cooperation at a time of “heartbreak, mistrust and trauma” The White House did not return a request for comment.
