Below is an excerpt of his UN Speech;
” I am not here to tell you that I have the answer, that I hold the key to peace in the Middle East. I am here to tell you that it’s time to start thinking differently. It’s time to look at the bigger picture, at the human side of the conflict. We need to acknowledge each other’s pain, fear, and hopes. We need to see the humanity in one another. This conflict is not just about politics or borders. It’s about people, families, and children on both sides who deserve a better future.
I have seen firsthand the suffering and the consequences of this conflict. I have seen the pain in the eyes of Israeli mothers who have lost their sons and daughters in suicide bombings. I have also seen the pain in the eyes of Palestinian mothers who have lost their children to the conflict. We are all victims of this ongoing tragedy, and it’s time for it to end.
We must move beyond hatred and revenge. We must seek reconciliation and understanding. We must work together to build a brighter and more peaceful future for the generation to come. It won’t be easy, but it’s possible if we have the courage to take the first steps towards peace.”
The speech reflects Mosab Hassan Yousef’s call for empathy, understanding, and reconciliation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
