Statement from the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine on the Passing of President Jimmy Carter

It is with profound sadness that we mark the passing of President Jimmy Carter, who died peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 100.

As the 39th President of the U.S., President’s Carter’s legacy extends far beyond his time in office. He was a tireless advocate for human rights, democracy, and peace, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his decades of work in advancing these causes.

President Carter’s commitment to peace and justice was particularly evident in his efforts to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Through his book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” and his work with The Carter Center, he consistently advocated for a two state solution and sought to bring attention to the plight of the Palestinian people.

His unwavering dedication to these principles made him a respected figure in international diplomacy and a beacon of hope for many.

President Carter’s life was a testament to the power of compassion and the enduring impact of a commitment to justice. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations to strive for a more peaceful and equitable world.
