EnglishWe invite you to gather in heartbreak—and in an act of courage, choosing to practice relating to all sides at a time when tension, polarization and fragmentation continues to rise.
As the devastation and terror in Gaza continues and the humanitarian crisis deepens, with children dying daily of hunger, medical infrastructure collapsing and the consequences of over 55,000 killed, as raids escalate in the West Bank, and as people in Israel grapple with existential fear following the horror of the 7th of October 2023, the continuing detention of hostages and the 12-day war with Iran, you are invited to bring your presence to a space of grounding and witnessing.
This Global Social Witnessing call is not a space for political debate. It is a space for presence. A space to feel—together—the grief, the horror, the numbness, the tenderness. A space to witness the pain of lives lost, the disintegration of trust, and the fragile flickers of human connection that still remain.
We will be joined by Rana Salman and Eszter Koranyi, the Palestinian and Israeli Co-Directors of Combatants for Peace—a binational movement of former soldiers and combatants who now walk a path of nonviolence, dialogue, and a shared search for liberation. Their leadership offers us a model of what is possible when we give ourselves to a relational practice in the face of rupture.
Together, we will turn toward this moment with our bodies, our breath, and our not-knowing. Bearing witness to heartbreak is not passive. It is a subtle act of care, a weaving of the torn fabric of our shared humanity.
Let us meet—across time zones, identities, and experiences—to hold this pain and love, side by side.
Rana Salman is the Palestinian Co-CEO of Combatants for Peace (CfP), a role she has held since 2020. Previously, she co-founded Peace By Piece Tours, offering educational and political tours in Israel and Palestine. She holds a B.A. from Bethlehem University and a tour guiding diploma. A Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem, Rana’s family was expelled from Haifa in 1948. Born in Jerusalem and raised under Israeli military occupation, her experiences drive her commitment to building a just and lasting peace through dialogue, nonviolent resistance, and fostering mutual respect between Palestinians and Israelis.
Eszter Koranyi is a passionate non-profit leader with extensive experience in youth education and community development. She began volunteering at 15 and co-founded an NGO in Hungary. Her journey has taken her across Italy, the Netherlands, and Israel, where she now co-directs Combatants for Peace alongside Rana Salman. Fluent in three languages, Eszter’s international experiences have shaped her adaptability and deep cultural understanding.
Their leadership shows that when women are part of the peace process, it is more inclusive, sustainable, and transformative.
Kosha Joubert is the CEO of the Pocket Project, where she works closely with Thomas Huebl and a global team to grow a culture of trauma-informed care.
