…will ever come to an end?

The war is still ongoing in Gaza. People, however, have hope. They believe that this all will end, and the reconstruction can begin soon. How soon? No one can tell. This article informs about a marriage that was held in a refugee camp in a northern town. The newly wed couple hopes that they won’t have to live in a tent for long.

The reconstruction would cost at least about 2 billion dollars. Although several international bodies and organizations offered aid, I think it is very early to speak of that. The occupation has been going on for years now; it won’t all end by tomorrow, or by next week, or even by next year. Imo first the United States has to stop aiding Israel. A little bit of more pressure is needed from the part of the EU, I think. This could be the beginning. Then the political opinions should meet on a common ground, making the peace negotiations possible. Another interesting article, an op-ed, about this last one here.
