At Kanaan, a hummus restaurant in Berlin co-owned by Palestinian Jalil Dabit and Israeli Oz Ben David, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict has deeply affected business and personal lives. The restaurant, a symbol of dialogue and coexistence, faced closure due to war-driven economic hardship and social tensions, including hate-motivated vandalism and declining customer numbers. After a public plea, community support surged, reviving the restaurant and reaffirming its role as a bridge between cultures. The recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas brought hope and renewed inspiration for Dabit and Ben David, who continue to foster understanding through food and upcoming projects, including a collaborative cookbook.
