The 20th Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony
Choosing Humanity, Choosing Hope
April 29, 2025, 20:30
The past year and a half has been among the hardest we have experienced.
The current war has left behind destruction, pain, and loss.
In the face of this harsh reality, it is easy to sink into despair, anger, and loss of faith.
But precisely now, when darkness and hatred are growing, we choose to stand together and shine outward.
This year, despite everything — and in fact because of everything — we will hold the Joint Memorial Day Ceremony for the 20th time, a joint initiative of Combatants for Peace and the Parents Circle – Families Forum.
Watch the live broadcast:
One of our main activities
An Israeli and a Palestinian, who tell their personal stories of bereavement and explain their choice to engage in dialogue instead of revenge. If you too would like to be a part of promoting peace and reconciliation, you’re welcome to arrange dialogue meetings in your home, in your workplace, in the community center near you, or anywhere you’d like.

The Parents Circle Families Forum invites anyone who has lost a family member due to the conflict, to join us
If you have lost a family member due to the conflict, and you are also tired of the never ending cycle of loss of life, we would like to see you with us. Together, we will continue to work to prevent further bereavement, to create dialogue, reconciliation and peace.
Each member in the forum carries within their hearts and bodies the story of the loss of their loved ones. The personal stories offer us a glimpse into their inner world and an understanding that the pain of bereavement is the same for both Israelis and Palestinians.
