Amid the Israel-Hamas war, one cross-cultural healthcare organisation is helping bring Palestinians and Israelis together in a shared goal of peace. Rozana, founded by Australian-Jewish businessman Ron Finkel in 2012, seeks to uplift Palestinian health workers and medical facilities using cooperation with Israeli hospitals and health workers. CEO Ronit Zimmer and her director of engagement and advocacy, Mohammad Asideh, say Rozana provides an example of what diplomacy between the two peoples should look like.
Sheba Medical Center, Israel’s largest hospital, is collaborating with Project Rozana, a non-profit organization that aims to strengthen relationships between Israelis and Palestinians through healthcare.
