A group of Jordanian, Iraqi and Palestinian personalities called for public affairs and held several meetings looking at the situation reached by some Arab countries and the dangers threatening other countries. This group decided to issue an appeal to all parties to the conflict to stop killing and destruction and to sit at the negotiating table to reach a compromise solution based on participation, not abolition.

What the group hopes to form is a popular movement pressuring towards ending the state of violence and then dialogue, reconciliation and reconstruction. ​
