On August 7, hundreds of young activists rallied outside the prime minister's office in Jerusalem, calling for an end to the Gaza offensive and the release of hostages. ✌️
The timing was crucial: Israel's security cabinet was meeting to discuss a possible full ground takeover of Gaza. In a pre-meeting interview, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the plan is to "remove Hamas" and hand Gaza to a civilian administration backed by Arab partners. 🤝
The human toll is staggering. According to Palestinian authorities, more than 61,100 people have been killed in Gaza since the conflict reignited in October 2023, and much of the territory has been left in ruins. 🌍
For many young people streaming clips on their phones—from Mumbai to Manila—the images are both heartbreaking and galvanizing. Wars have ripple effects that touch lives far beyond the battlefield. 🇮🇱🇵🇸
As debates continue, the question remains: Will leaders opt for a full ground invasion or heed calls for an immediate ceasefire? The world—and the next generation—will be watching. 👀
