Tahani Abu Daqqa is a Palestinian entrepreneur from Gaza and former
Palestinian Minister of Youth, Sport, and Culture. She is the
founder of Gaza Life Power, an organization working on renewable
energy and community development in Palestine. She is a Gaza War
survivor and has been displaced since April 2024. For more than
four decades, Tahani Abu Daqqa has been involved in building
women’s cooperatives and developing local economic and social
infrastructure in Gaza under conditions of occupation, blockade,
and repeated military escalation. In 2023, she completed a major
solar energy project intended to provide more stable electricity to
parts of Gaza. Within the first week after October 7, this
installation was destroyed. This Candid Conversation on Palestine,
Israel & Europe offers a detailed, first-hand perspective on
Gaza - not only as a place of conflict, but as a society shaped by
decades of resilience, organizing, and negotiation. It also
outlines concrete reflections on what a constructive European role
could look like, and why lasting security for Israelis and
Palestinians is ultimately interdependent.

For the sixth Candid Conversation on Palestine, Israel, and Europe,
we are joined by Sulaiman Khatib, co-founder of Combatants for
Peace - a grassroots movement built by former Palestinian and
Israeli fighters who chose joint nonviolence to work toward ending
the occupation and creating a just, shared future. Sulaiman
reflects on his personal transformation from armed resistance and a
decade in prison to rejecting military solutions and zero-sum
thinking. The conversation traces the history, beliefs, and ideas
behind Combatants for Peace, explores their current work and
projects, and examines what it takes to open up to the narrative of
the “other” while staying grounded in one’s own. Sulaiman
highlights nonviolence not only as a political strategy but as a
way of living and a path toward collective liberation. The
discussion also addresses the importance and impact of youth
education in Palestine and Israel, the challenges the movement
faced after October 7, and the forms of international support that
are most needed today.

In this episode, Valeska Heldt—Political Officer at the Candid
Foundation and a lawyer by training—speaks with legal expert Dr.
Eitan Diamond, who sheds light on the growing challenges faced by
civil society and humanitarian actors in the Israeli-Palestinian
context. He also unpacks the often-confused fields of human rights
and humanitarian law, showing how the law is stretched to justify
violations rather than protect civilians. Together, Eitan and

third states, including EU member states.
