Gush Shalom (Hebrew: גוש שלום, "the Peace Bloc") is a radical left group which sees itself as the hardcore of Israeli peace movement. Gush Shalom is an extra-parliamentary organization, independent of any party or other political grouping. Some of its activists do belong to political parties, but the Gush is not aligned to any particular party. The Gush is lead by Uri Avnery, and to many Gush Shalom and Uri Avnery are synonymous.

Often described as "resolute", "militant", "radical" or "consistent", it is known for its unwavering stand in times of crisis, such as the al-Aqsa Intifada. Some call this "persistence" while other see this as "blindness" and "denial".

Gush Shalom is a radical leftist movement, and its classification as a peace movement is highly disputed. Uri Avnery, the Gush Shalom leader and a former journalist, was among the first to meet and nagotiate with PLO leader Yasser Arafat. Although Gush Shalom earned itself respect in Europe, it is regarded by most Israelis as a pro-Palestinian movement who supports violence and terrorism against Israelis.
