This past year, 85 newly bereaved families have joined the Parents Circle. Joining the Parents Circle, after paying such a heavy price, is a courageous choice and a commitment to reconciliation, dialogue and peace.

These new members set a bright example during a horrific and brutal war, as hatred and violence peak, that there are those still willing to recognize the pain and loss on both sides and raise their voices for an end to the bloodshed and for a better future.

Watch the recording of this special conversation between veteran Israeli and Palestinian members, Mohammed and Yifat and two newly bereaved members, Yuval and Najla.
