The Mossawa Center and Friends of Mossawa also held meetings with American human rights associations, US foundations, and members and supporters of Friends of Mossawa in Virginia.

It is essential to note that Friends of Mossawa in the United States is an independent association that works tirelessly to raise awareness about the issues facing the Palestinian community in Israel. The Mossawa Center closely monitors these issues by holding meetings and working sessions with members of Congress, senators, officials in the US administration, and civil and human rights organizations.

Overall, the Mossawa Center and Friends of Mossawa's meetings were productive and aimed to foster dialogue on critical issues impacting the Palestinian community in Israel and the broader Palestinian people. Their efforts toward achieving full and fair equality are commendable and should be supported by all those who believe in human rights and social justice.
