08.29.06 encourage the Australian Government to:
a) do all it can to support the current peace negotiations between Palestine and Israel, in the interests of ending the occupation and bringing a just and lasting peace to the peoples of Israel and Palestine;

08.29.08 seek advice from Christian World Service and from the Canberra Ecumenical Working Group on Palestine-Israel as to how churches in Australia and the NCCA might work for a just and lasting peace between Palestine and Israel, including Australian participation in ecumenical initiatives such as the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine & Israel (EAPPI), the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum (PIEF), International Church Action for Peace in Palestine and Israel (ICAPPI), and Christian Peacemaker Teams.
