Among the speakers is one young leader who participated in a bipartisan dialogue meeting for Palestinian peace held in Hiroshima and Tokyo in August 2025. She expressed her gratitude upon returning to Palestine, having learned about the power of dialogue and unity inspired by Japan’s history of post-war recovery. This mutual sharing of experiences is fostering a crucial step towards peace processes in the region.

Highlights from the Leaders' Messages

During previous engagements, one leader remarked, “What you have organized is not just a program. It has provided us Palestinians with a platform to reflect on how we can involve the world in our narrative.”
Another emphasized the desire to embody Japan's principles of order, precision, and long-term impact through their peace endeavors, stating, “What you have created in Japan was a significant step towards building the future we all wish for.”

Additionally, another young leader shared her experiences engaging with survivors of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and interacting with Japanese civic society, further reinforcing the importance of international relationships in building peace.

The dialogue sessions held in the region, including in various Middle Eastern countries and Tokyo, aim to unite disparate political views among Palestinian leaders to create a cohesive strategy for peace. These discussions focus on sustainable solutions that transcend party lines, tapping into collective aspirations for a peaceful future.

Importance of the Dialogue Session

This urgent online dialogue session presents a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from the very individuals who are most deeply involved in the Palestinian peace process. We warmly invite participation from individuals interested in contributing to this vital conversation. Your involvement can help amplify the voices for peace in Palestine.
