President
Gaza Strip, Palestine
I serve as the President of the Coalition for Peace and Coexistence, where our mission is rooted in dignity, humanity, and the right of every person to live safely. I believe that genuine peace is built through trust, dialogue, and communities seeing one another without fear, and I work to restore hope in Gaza while strengthening real bridges between Palestinians and Israelis. Despite the deep humanitarian crisis, Gaza’s people continue to rise and rebuild, and our coalition stands with them through practical, people-centered action. Together with our leadership and partners, I strive to turn a shared human will for peace into meaningful progress toward a just, secure future for all.

Mousa Hetawi
Board Member and Palestinian Representative
West Bank, Palestine
Musa was born in the city of peace, Jerusalem, in 1987, and studied and graduated there. He is a doctor and writer. He has family in the West Bank and in Gaza. Musa joined the Forum in 2023, following his cousin Youssef’s death. Since then, he has lost more than 20 family members in Gaza during the war. Before joining the Forum, he struggled to believe in the idea of peace, as he understands bereavement to be a tragically common aspect of Palestinian life – Palestinians have lost not just families, but childhoods, education, and basic freedoms. However, since joining PCFF, he is focused on the values that he wants to see, and believes that to move the world towards justice and peace requires determination and hard work.
