Why the Gaza Cease-Fire Won’t Mean Peace (Foreign Policy)

“Maybe the old are dying, but the young are remembering, and they want to fix it,” said Samah Salaime, a Palestinian peace activist with Neve Shalom Wahat al-Salam....

Salaime said Palestinians always faced discrimination and second-class citizenship in a state that defines itself as Jewish, but then in 2018, Israel passed the nation-state law, further downgrading Palestinians’ status in the country. Salaime said there wasn’t trust before this week, but there was a contract of sorts: “You’re safe. I’m safe.” She said her children’s generation, in their 20s, want more than that.

“They are saying, ‘We want justice. We don’t want something else,’” Salaime said.
