While the ceasefire in Gaza is a welcome and necessary step, it cannot be the end of our moral or diplomatic responsibility. A ceasefire stops the immediate bloodshed - but occupation sustains the violence by other means.
True peace requires ending the ongoing occupation and granting Palestinians full rights, freedom of movement, and sovereignty. Anything less merely resets the clock until the next tragedy.
I urge you to use your platform and influence to move beyond crisis management and toward justice - by supporting policies that end the occupation, ensure accountability for human rights abuses, and commit to a future where both peoples live in safety and dignity.
