In February, at the height of violence and tensions, a group of exceptional young Israeli and Palestinian young leaders met in Tel Aviv as part of our PEACE for Youth project. The group, along with GI experts, discussed the potential of current political developments and ongoing violence on both sides to impact the prospects for peace. After sharing personal stories, thoughts and concerns, the group began to devise joint initiatives to combat the ongoing violence and promote peace within their communities. These workshops allow Israeli and Palestinian youth to engage in constructive dialogue and exchange perspectives, creating trust, empathy, and understanding for the other side’s narratives.
