Combatants for Peace

We are Palestinians and Israelis standing side by side to oppose the cycle of endless wars that brought nothing but suffering to us all. The war must stop now! #Israel #Iran #UnitedStates

We want to honor women who stand on the front lines against violence and channel daily pain into energy for change. There will be no just peace for all on this land without complete equality. #InternationalWomensDay2026

On this #InternationalWomensDay2026 , we want to recognize that women and children pay the highest price in wars and highlight the essential role of women in peacebuilding. When women are involved, peace agreements last longer and post-conflict recovery is more inclusive.

When the Israeli military launched the war on Iran, it also closed access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron until further notice. Worshipers who came on the occasion of Ramadan were forcibly evacuated.

While Israel and the United States launched a new war on Iran, Israeli forces sealed off the West Bank. 888 barriers are closed as they are enforcing a confinement of the Palestinian residents of the area to reduced pockets of territory. #IsraelIranWar #WestBank

Last week, our activists established their protective presence in Al-Minya, north of Hebron, to protect Palestinian shepherds from settler attacks.

We refuse the hierarchy of grief that measures one life against another, and we reject the logic that treats civilian deaths as currency in a wider struggle.

As a joint movement committed to nonviolence and to ending the occupation through political means, we firmly reject the belief that expanded military force will bring safety or stability to our region.

The Palestinian and Israeli members of Combatants for Peace are united in our profound alarm at the current military escalation between the United States, Israel, and Iran.

We will continue our nonviolent struggle for human rights and justice. More importantly, we refuse to let entire communities be erased in silence. We will stand with them, tell their stories and make sure they are remembered.

The Nakba did not end in 1948 一 it is still ongoing. Settler terrorism continues to rise and nothing is done to stop it. Which means that it is encouraged.

It is with a heavy heart that we learned that the last remaining families of the Bedouin community of Ras Ein al-Auja have been forced to leave their homes. Nearly 700 people once called this village home. Today, Ras Ein al-Auja stands empty.

United Nations data shows that since October 7, 2023, at least 3,100 Palestinians (including more than 1,500 children) have been directly displaced as a result of settler attacks and restrictions imposed by the Israeli authorities on access to land and resources.

We protested against the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities in the West Bank at the entrance to the city of Jericho, in solidarity with the residents of Ras 'Ein al-Auja, who are being forcibly displaced through daily settler harassment and sustained military pressure.

In December 2025, Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the #WestBank remained at critically high levels. International monitoring bodies, including @ochaopt, reported a consistent pattern of physical assaults, property destruction, and fatalities.

“This weaponization of bureaucracy institutionalizes barriers to aid and forces vital organizations to suspend operations": we call on the Israeli government to reverse its ban on international NGOs operating in Gaza. timesofisrael.com/israel-vows-to…

We denounce the fact that the new registration framework violates core humanitarian principles of independence and neutrality. We also remind that ensuring access to humanitarian aid is a legal obligation.

This decision puts the lives of millions at risk by severing the delivery of already limited humanitarian aid and support for vulnerable communities facing settler and military violence.

Together with 17 other Israeli-based human rights organizations, we strongly condemns Israel’s decision to deregister 37 international humanitarian organizations operating in the occupied Palestinian territory. #h.pubrnr6zpbjd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theplatformil.org/joint-initiati…

(3/3) To everyone who supported us this year — thank you for donating, sharing our content, and taking part in our events. Happy new year, and may it be a year of courage, solidarity, and action.

(2/3) We will continue our joint struggle against injustice, reject violence, and support communities under threat. Because we believe this is the only way.

(1/3) In the final days of 2025, the headlines here have been dominated not by peace initiatives but by settlement expansion. In this context, the prospects for peace and justice in the new year are bleak. But There is Another Way.
