Commentary: LBC - Israelis and Palestinians have suffered enough. It’s time to choose peace, not pride.
Our Executive Director, Ben Freeman, wrote for LBC on the Gaza ceasefire deal and the future for Israelis and Palestinians.
“This pattern of violence must break. If the Camp David Summit offered Palestinians a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for peace, then this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. The Palestinian people have the backing of their Arab neighbours, who themselves now seek warmer relations with Israel. There is also the Trump Factor, and his peace plan offers not just a pathway to self-determination, but a viable, prosperous future.
Now, genuinely moderate leaders, who are willing to recognise Israel’s place in the region, must come to the fore and offer a new vision for the future. Peace in the region depends on it.”
