Combatants for Peace will host its 20th annual event on April 29, 2025, uniting Israelis and Palestinians in a shared vision for peace. The organization, formed to end occupation and promote coexistence, encourages joint nonviolent efforts. Attendees can register for two significant ceremonies: the 20th Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Ceremony and the 6th Joint Nakba Remembrance Ceremony. Victor Eskenazi from Mountlake Terrace underscores the movement's commitment to civil resistance and education as tools for activism. This grassroots initiative aims to transform oppressive systems and foster a just future for all.

Local engagement reflects a growing desire among participants to live in harmony despite their tumultuous history. The event's significance lies in its focus on collaboration and peace-building efforts in a region marked by conflict. Combatants for Peace continues to advocate for collective liberation between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
