Amitai created the Dove of Peace which became the recognized symbol of the Middle East peace process. The Doves were worn by Reuma Weizmann, wife of the President of the State of Israel, and Queen Nur, wife of King Hussein of Jordan, at the historic ceremonial signing of the peace agreement between the two States. During the ceremonies surrounding the signing, Hillary Clinton and Leah Rabin also wore art jewelry created by Amitai Kav. It is most unusual for the wives of all the major participants in such a momentous event to wear jewelry designed by the same artist.
