Join Greater Washington Partners for Peace for a conversation with Rozana (formerly Project Rozana), an international organization that uses healthcare as a bridge between Israelis and Palestinians. Through partnerships with hospitals, medical professionals, and community organizations, Rozana works to improve access to care while fostering relationships across lines of conflict. Partners for Peace is a JCRC initiative that highlights individuals and organizations working to advance cooperation, shared society, and practical solutions that improve the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians. The series seeks to introduce the Greater Washington Jewish community to efforts that often receive less public attention, but play an important role in building a more peaceful and secure future. Rozana CEO Ran Goldstein and Director of International Advocacy Mohammad Asideh will discuss the challenges and opportunities of advancing healthcare cooperation during a time of war and deep division. They will share how Rozana's work brings together Israeli and Palestinian healthcare professionals, supports vulnerable communities, and demonstrates how practical partnerships can create meaningful impact even in the most difficult circumstances.
