Iranian human rights activists and Nobel Peace Prize laureates Narges Mohammadi and Shirin Ebadi have urged that the war between Israel and Iran end, Al Jazeera reports.

“Stop the war and choose dialogue over destruction,” they said in a statement on the Nobel Women’s Initiative website.

“This war, initiated by Israel in violation of international law, is already causing immense suffering and threatens to ignite a broader regional and global conflict. Civilians, including women and children, are being killed,” the statement read.
