These Palestinians and Israelis are talking to each other − determined to make peace real in Gaza
About this episode
The episode discusses efforts by Palestinians and Israelis to foster peace amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Palestinians and Israelis are building common ground for peace where most say there is none. Since October 7 and the war in Gaza, the idea of cross-community dialogue seems impossible. But behind the headlines, more than 550 leaders from both communities, across politics, security, business, media, and civil society have come together to shape a peaceful future - for both peoples. What does a just and peaceful solution actually require? Who is doing the work to get there? And is there a role for Australia to play? Presented by the New Israel Fund Australia Speakers Hiba Qasas Founding Executive Director of Principles for Peace, former senior UN official Dr Gil Murciano CEO of the “Mitvim Institute", a foreign policy research organisation in Israel Dr Sally Warhaft (host) Writer, journalist and host of the Wheeler Centre’s The Fifth Estate series
