Greetings, human rights advocates!

How are you all doing? I hope you are all well.

As you may be aware, it’s been a rocky week in Gaza. There was a ceasefire last week that was unsuccessful, and a new ceasefire has begun this week. Hopefully Hamas and Israel will be able to negotiate their terms this time around and there can be lasting peace. I’m very nervous for them. I wrote about last week’s ceasefire for today’s article; you can read it here:

If you’d like, visit the forums and tell me if you think this new ceasefire will be successful or not. (For the record, I am hopeful, but I worry that the fighting will just continue on.)
