In 2006 the Everest Peace Project climbed Mount Everest on May 18; the summit was reached by a trio composed of two Israelis (Dudu Yifrah and Micha Yaniv) and a Palestinian (Ali Bushnaq); Yifrah unfolded a sewn together
Israeli–
Palestinian flag on the summit of Everest.[4][5] The climb is the main focus of the documentary film Everest: A Climb for Peace, narrated by
Orlando Bloom.[6] The documentary has been hailed as a "tremendous achievement" by the
Dalai Lama and has received his endorsement.[7]
