Meet Roni Keidar
Roni Keidar is an Israeli peace activist from Netiv HaAsara on the Gaza border who insists that the safety of Israelis and the dignity and freedom of Palestinians are bound together.
Visiting Washington, DC in 2024, Mehra Rimer carried the work of B8 of Hope’s grantees into conversations with policymakers and peacebuilding institutions—and saw ideas developed in Geneva reach the halls of power.
Amira Mohammed and Evelyn Uzan of Unapologetic: The Third Narrative, an initiative supported by B8 of Hope, engaged more than 130 students at Institut Le Rosey, Institut Sainte-Marcelline, and the International School of Geneva in open and challenging conversations about identity, narrative, and polarization.
In conversation with Palestinian host Amira Mohammed, Mehra Rimer reflected on the personal journey behind B8 of Hope and the complexities of supporting Palestinian and Israeli civil society as an Iranian peacebuilder.
