Conflict between Israel and Hamas temporarily ended and that is a good thing. Perhaps this will give both sides some time to think about what a longer-term peaceful strategy might look like. There is history in this ancient area, shared history among lots of different people, and maybe we can find some religious inspiration that to moves beyond the conflicts of the past 50 years to something more akin to peaceful coexistence.
So much pain and suffering has been experienced by people on both sides. Lives lost and families ruined. The world has been watching for a long time and the passions in this arena often ignite passions in other places. I believe that life and peace are beautiful things and we should encourage it and nurture it whenever we can. ☮🕊
Sometimes starting small and finding things people agree can lead to bigger agreements in the future. I wonder if a wider network of international stakeholders could put pressure on both sides to resolve their differences to find some path forward to long term resolution? These issues are complex but at the end of day solutions are often anchored in very simple things. 💓👼
