Yael Admi is an Israeli peace activist known for co-founding Women Wage Peace, an Israeli grassroots peace movement advocating peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict. In 2024 she was one of two women named Time Person of the Year.

Early life

[edit]

Admi had a brother, Yshai Ron, who was killed in Egypt during the armed conflict between Israel and Egypt. Her mother died of sadness and despair after the loss of her brother. The death of her brother inspired Admi in her activism to devote all her time to making peace.[1]

Admi received her Ph.D. in 2014 from Bar-Ilan University[2] where she studied ethics and dialogue.[3]

Activism

[edit]

Admi is known for her work advocating for peace and protection of women. She believes in the significance of breaking the cycle of revenge, as it brings nothing good to the world besides revenge. During the bloodshed, the women and children have always paid the highest price. Admi believes that women's voices, especially mothers', are crucial in changing the course of events. She believes that one should go beyond one's pain and achieve the highest level of solidarity and humanity, and refusing to sink into one's private suffering is the only way to end the war.[1]

Admi has been a peace activist for 40 years. She was the Chairperson of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum.[3] She is a group facilitator specializing in conflict resolution with the Talking Peace organization and a group instructor and organizational consultant for the Adler Institute, where she has served on the Board of Directors since 2006.[3] She introduced the Israeli Knesset, the Bill for Political Alternatives, a legislative initiative mandating the government to consider political alternatives during both peace and wartime.[3]

Admi is a leader and co-founder of Women Wage Peace, an Israeli grassroots peace movement advocating peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict.[4] After the Gaza War/Operation Protective Edge in 2014, alongside other women such as Vivian Silver, Admi co-founded Women Wage Peace, urging a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.[3] Admi serves as a member of the strategic team of Women Wage Peace, arranging collaborations with other peace organizations, including a Palestinian women's organization, Women of the Sun.[5]

On October 7th, Hamas attacked Israel, killing over 1.2 thousand people, including a founder of the Women's Wage War, Vivian Silver. The loss of an old friend motivates Admi's activism even further. She believes the tragedy is a chance for people to recognize the brutality of the war and make changes as a community.[1]

In 2024 Admi, as a representative of Women Wage Peach was named Time Magazine Women of the Year along with Reem Hajajreh, founder and director of Women of the Sun.[5]
