Thank you to everyone who participated in The Joint Memorial Day Ceremony hosted by Combatants for Peace and The Parents Circle-Families Forum on May 12, 2024.

Thank you to the tens of thousands of Israeli, Palestinian, and international communities who tuned into the stream. There were over 200 satellite ceremonies in Israel and Palestine, approximately 175 in the US, and many more in South Africa, France, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Afghanistan, Spain, the UK, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Canada, and more.

This year's ceremony was particularly challenging, against the background of the terrible violence that continues to take a bloody toll every day. We chose to focus this year on the stories of children - who pay the heaviest price in the war and for whom we want to provide a different future. Out of the pain and difficulty we create a source of hope for peace. In the face of dehumanization attempts, we adhere to humanity.

We are filled with gratitude to all the hard work, care, and love so many Palestinians and Israelis put in to make this happen during these extremely challenging times. And to our supporters all over the world who donated and watched the ceremony in solidarity.
