Israel-Palestine: what common future is possible? • Forum FIFDH 2024 • TRAD EN

While blood is still being shed, how can we imagine that Israelis and Palestinians will one day live in peace? Yet there are men and women committed to building a better future, even if the present is terribly bleak.

The Middle East is living through dark times. The crimes committed by Hamas on 7 October 2023 in southern Israel led to a relentless Israeli response in Gaza. South Africa has appealed to the International Court of Justice, accusing the Israeli army of committing “genocide”. How can we imagine peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians when, at the time of writing, the dead are still adding to the dead and a regional conflagration cannot be ruled out? In spite of this situation, Israelis and Palestinians are working to think and work towards building peace.
