Sheikh Ashraf Al Jabari, a prominent Hebron businessman, has launched the Reform and Development party, advocating a one-state solution that he claims will drastically improve Palestinians’ lives. Jabari said he believes that his party’s focus on economic issues, such as unemployment, will attract many Palestinians, especially the young generation. Sheikh Al-Jabari belongs to a prominent clan from Hebron.
Last February, Jabari participated in an Israeli-Palestinian economic conference in Jerusalem, where US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, was the key speaker. In his speech, Amb. Friedman described Jabari as a “man of courage and vision who is practical but committed to peace and to coexistence.” The US administration, Friedman said, “couldn’t ask for a better partner in this effort. I’m proud to call you my friend.”
Sheikh Ashraf Al Jabari, is a Palestinian businessman from Hebron. He previously served in the Palestinian Security Forces.
