The surprising WZO connection to KKL-JNF – plus their incredible contributions post Oct 7th

KKL-JNF’s involvement in the Israel-Hamas war of 2023–2025 has been multifaceted: emergency aid, community rebuilding, environmental repair, and educational outreach. While not on the battlefield, it has been a lifeline for Israel’s home front, embodying its century-old mission to fortify the Jewish state against all odds.
