The escalating violence and aggression between Israel and Palestine deeply concern the Europe Peace Foundation. The ongoing conflict has reached an alarming level, with a significant loss of lives among Palestinians, and the continued expansion of illegal settlements. The cycle of violence and its devastating consequences for both sides is deeply troubling.

We express our deep sorrow for the lives lost and the suffering endured by individuals and communities affected by this conflict. The Europe Peace Foundation firmly believes that the only path to lasting peace is through dialogue, understanding, and respect for the rights and dignity of all people involved.

The reports of a planned far-right march in Jerusalem by Israelis raise additional concerns. Acts of violence and extreme racism have no place in any society and can only further exacerbate tensions and deepen divisions. We urge all parties involved to exercise restraint, prioritize peaceful dialogue, and reject any form of provocation that could lead to further violence and suffering.

As an organization dedicated to promoting peace and protection, we call upon the international community, regional organizations, and all stakeholders to exert their influence and work towards de-escalating the situation. It is imperative to engage in meaningful dialogue, address the root causes of the conflict, and seek a just and comprehensive solution that respects the rights and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians.

The Europe Peace Foundation stands ready to support efforts aimed at achieving sustainable peace in the region. We encourage the parties involved to seek common ground, build trust, and work towards a future where all individuals can live in peace, security, and harmony.

We emphasize the importance of respecting international law, upholding human rights, and ending the cycle of violence and suffering. It is crucial to protect the lives and well-being of all individuals affected by the conflict, including civilians, women, children, and vulnerable communities.

The Europe Peace Foundation renews its commitment to advocating for peaceful resolutions and fostering understanding and empathy among all parties involved. We believe in the power of dialogue, cooperation, and reconciliation as key instruments for achieving a just and lasting peace.

We urge the international community to redouble its efforts to support peaceful initiatives, engage in mediation processes, and provide humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict. Together, we can strive towards a future where the rights, aspirations, and security of all individuals in the region are respected and upheld, and where lasting peace and stability prevail.
