As America eulogizes Jimmy Carter, it is essential to reflect on a key component of his legacy that enabled him to succeed as a peacemaker in the Middle East: radical pragmatism rooted in humanity. This principle allowed him to broker peace between Egypt and Israel, two nations that had been mortal enemies. Recognizing a post-war opportunity, Carter helped build the conditions for the 1978 Camp David Peace Accords, a milestone in modern diplomacy. In the 1970s, Egypt was in turmoil.

It is a fact that many of the Tel Aviv Maccabi soccer fans acted in a disgusting, racist, and hateful manner in Amsterdam. Some of them spewed hateful slogans, ripped up Palestinian flags, acted in a lawless manner, and screamed racist, anti-Arab chants that certainly escalated the tensions. The narrative among many is that these fans “started it” with said behaviour, and this wouldn’t have happened had it not been for the hooliganism of the Israeli fans.

In 2017, I was awaiting a call from a friend in the Gaza Strip over a WhatsApp video. When it finally came, my friend Khaled was sitting in the living room of Yahya Sinwar, who agreed to discuss my Gaza airport proposal. Back then, I was advocating the establishment of an internationally-run, Israeli and IDF-approved airfield in Gaza to address the lack of freedom of movement for the Strip's civilian population through non-Egyptian and non-Israeli points of entry and exit.

The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, raises several questions about the future of the Israel-Hamas war and the broader regional conflict between Israel and Iran. Can Hamas regenerate? How should Israel think about next steps? Similarly, what should inform its strategy for dealing with Hezbollah in Lebanon, after the killing of its leader Hassan Nasrallah?

Immediately after the horrendous October 7, 2023 massacre by Hamas, mass demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people commenced. Even bBefore the Israeli military had launched its full-scale operation against Gaza, demonstrators took to the streets accusing Israel of genocide, refusing to acknowledge the gravity of what took place to Israeli civilians and even celebrating the massacre as an act of legitimate resistance.

In the painful year since the October 7 massacre in which 1,200 Israelis were killed and hundreds taken hostage, I have made more connections with Israelis and Jews as a Palestinian from Gaza than I have in the entirety of my life. I’m no stranger to dialogue groups between Palestinians and Israelis/Jews in the diaspora outside the Holy Land.
