Political speeches and last-minute delaying maneuvers must not obscure a simple reality: it is imperative to stop the fighting, to start from these foundations to cement a diplomatic process, admittedly perilous, which would finally make it possible to establish peace on the long term. The intervention of international powers, and more particularly the United States, demonstrates that by putting the necessary pressure on the belligerents, it is possible to bring them, against all odds, to negotiate and – one hopes – to conclude agreements. agreements.

Self-defense, rightly claimed by the Hebrew State after the vile massacres committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, cannot be absolute. This conflict has shattered too many innocent lives. It wiped out entire territories, sowing terror but also hatred in people’s minds, well beyond the Middle East. It has caused entire populations to distrust each other. It is essential that political time regains its rights. As fragile as it may be, the establishment of a ceasefire provides a glimpse of a glimmer of hope in the midst of this field of ruins.
Resentment and rancor will not disappear overnight, but it is the duty of the international community, and in particular Israel’s historic allies, to unwaveringly support this first stage of pacification. The time for condemnations and bellicose justifications is over. What must come first is the restoration of humanity, of the aspirations of the Israeli and Palestinian populations to live in peace within the framework of international law.

Beyond this truce, it is more necessary than ever to maintain pressure to encourage a solution of two states which recognize each other, which today seems unattainable, but which is undoubtedly the only path towards coexistence sustainable. And at the same time, ensure that terrorist organizations like Hamas which, in the region, have involved populations in their bloodthirsty enterprise are definitively put out of harm’s way.
The road will be long, strewn with obstacles, but the history of relations between Israelis and Palestinians cannot be one of eternal vengeance. The process of grieving, healing, forgiving and rebuilding must begin now. International pressure, which has worked virtuously in recent weeks, must continue unabated.
