This issue gives you insight into the wide network of international relations that our country enjoys through its diplomatic relations in Palestine and abroad. Palestinian ambassadors Amal Jadou and Issa Kassissieh explain to us the philosophy and underlying principles of Palestinian diplomatic relations and the role played by diplomatic missions in the efforts to obtain universal recognition of the Palestinian right to self-determination and nationhood. Jorge Daccarett introduces a move that aims to utilize the expertise of the Palestinian diaspora. And if you are seeking personal inspiration, you can emulate principles of the life philosophy of our personality of the month, Palestinian ambassador Afif Safieh, as related by his daughter, Dame Diana Safieh. Lessons can be learned as well from our book of the month. Moreover, this issue is rich in art content, and rightly so, since Palestinian artists, performers, and filmmakers are ambassadors of a special kind.

The Norwegian Representative Office and Ambassador Bernales of Chile provide insight into their respective countries’ long-standing relations with the Palestinian people; the Representative Office of Denmark reminds us, by example, of the need to rebuild Gaza; and Lithuania shares an inspiring story of how hospitalized Palestinian children are treated by “clowndoctors” with laughter as a supplement to medicine.

Warm thank-yous go to all our authors who, through their contributions, as always, are the true source of value in this issue. From all of us at TWIP, we wish a Happy Easter to those who are celebrating, and more peaceful times ahead to all of us!
