Two years on, we remember all the innocent lives lost ā Israeli and Palestinian.
We remember the unbearable human cost: 1,200 Israelis killed, 48 still held hostage, and thousands of families living in fear and grief. We remember more than 67,000 Palestinian men, women, and children killed, one in four children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and nearly 170,000 people injured. So much pain, so many lives shattered.
My heart aches for every mother, father, child, and friend who will never come home. I continue to hope ā deeply and desperately ā for a lasting ceasefire, and for a peace process that values every human life equally.
