The Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum has been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. "At a time characterized by war, mistrust and despair, the Bereaved Families Forum offers a rare spark of hope for the future," the nomination states. The nomination was submitted by peace activist Sharon Dolev and backed by the International Peace Bureau (IPB). The forum, established in 1995, brings together more than 850 bereaved members, Palestinians and Israelis, who have lost loved ones in the ongoing conflict. Ayelet Harel and Nadine Qumsiyeh, co-directors of the forum, said: "The choice of bereaved Palestinian and Israeli families to work together for reconciliation is a courageous and extraordinary choice."
