1. I added an inline citation for the first paragraph. Are there any other claims that need inline citations?
2. I expect to be able to get a photograph of Dolev later this week. If I do, I plan to upload it to Wikimedia Commons and link to it from the Wikidata entry on her. After I do that, the photo should automatically appear if we use the infobox construct I used:
Honestly as it stands I believe the article has sources for all the claims, so that template could probably be removed. However, I would recommend seeing if you could find more independent sources discussing Dolev; she is mentioned briefly in the 3 news articles, but that likely isn't enough to confirm notability.
Also, if you weren't already planning to, I think the Israeli Disarmament Movement could have its own article, based on the more extensive news coverage of their actions.
I've just returned the initial infobox you added, with the specification person instead of organization, so afaik that should allow for the photo to be imported from Wikimedia Commons

ForsythiaJo: Why are you insisting on changing the style of references? I'm following the style described by
Wikipedia:Citing sources, except that I called the "References" section "Bibliography" and put it before rather than after the "Notes".
In my experience, the biblography/notes style tends to work better for scientific/historical articles, where one source is being cited multiple times, often with different pages. For an article like this, where a source is only being cited once, or doesn't need to specify by page, I've found a straight reference style is more intuitive and easily navigatable. But if you prefer the bibliography/notes style, I won't fight on it being switched back.

ForsythiaJo: Thanks for fixing my error with the infobox.
Regarding creating a separate article on the Israeli Disarmament Movement, I thought about that. However, it made more sense to me to create this article first. I disagree with the comment that, "she is mentioned briefly in the 3 news articles": She was the primary instigator for the events covered in those three articles published in Al Jazeera, +972 Magazine, and The Jerusalem Post. She was organizing events for what became the Israeli Disarmament Movement before that name was used, as documented in Dolev (2010), which appeared in the
Palestine-Israel Journal.
She was also organizing events and pressuring public officials to move the agenda on a WMD-Free Middle East before there was the
Middle East Treaty Organization (METO). The Wikipedia article on METO says it was founded in 2017, but I cannot find documentation of that. The article in The Jerusalem Post was dated 2017-12-25, talking about Dolev and events that drove the creation of METO without mentioning that name;-)

TheTechie: Could you please explain why this qualifies at all for speedy deletion?
Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion says, "Users nominating a page for speedy deletion should specify which criterion/criteria the page meets". Please do this.
Before I created this article, Dolev had already been mentioned as the executive director of the
Middle East Treaty Organization (METO) in the Wikipedia article on that subject. As the founding executive director of an NGO that already by itself qualified for its own Wikipedia article, I would think that should count for notability, though perhaps not as much as articles in Al Jazeera and The Jerusalem Post.
