This paper argues that joint civil resistance is the most viable path to conflict transformation in Israel–Palestine amid the collapse of elite-led peace processes and growing repression. Drawing on conflict transformation theory and the author’s original empirical doctoral research, it examines Israeli–Palestinian initiatives that jointly and nonviolently resist occupation and cycles of violence while centering relationships, reconciliation, and mutual recognition, and argues that under conditions of entrenched enmity, trauma, and structural asymmetry, peace is unattainable without such relational processes.
