Beyond the Divide: Next-Generation Palestinians & Israelis Reimagine Peace

More than a panel. Join a live, interactive deliberation: Explore differences, common ground, & consider what constructive action can be. Next-Generation Palestinians and Israelis Reimagine the Politics of Peace An intimate conversation with SHIFT Futures. After October 7 and the devastation of Gaza, how do we reckon with the immense loss, confront the systems that have driven the violence, and build a future rooted in justice, freedom, and security for Palestinians and Israelis? Meet two remarkable voices from within the conflict: Rawan Odeh, who grew up in a besieged West Bank village and helped secure $250 million for peacebuilding, and Eran Nissan, who served as a medic on October 7 and ran for Knesset. As core drafters of the SHIFT Framework, they will share how they stood up to inherited narratives, forged unexpected alliances, and developed a blueprint for peace. More than a panel, this is a conversation. Join a live, interactive deliberation. Bring your questions, experiences, and perspectives as we explore our differences, discover common ground, and consider what constructive action can look like.
