From Prison to Peace: Sulaiman Khatib’s Journey Beyond Violence
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
“There is another way.”
Julie Rose sits down with Sulaiman Khatib, two-time Noble Peace Prize nominee and co-founder of Combatants for Peace.
As a teenager, Khatib, a Palestinian, was imprisoned for attacking Israeli soldiers. But behind bars, he discovered the power of nonviolent resistance, studying the works of Gandhi, Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr. Today, he works side by side with Israelis to build trust, tell hard truths, and imagine a future of collective liberation for Israelis and Palestinians.
With the conflict in Gaza entering its second year, Sulaiman Khatib’s story is a rare glimpse of hope.
