Israeli, Palestinian pro-peace groups cautious, but not cowed
Since his parents, Bilha and Yaakobi, and his best friend were killed in their homes by Hamas attackers who raided southern Israel on Oct. 7, Moaz Inon has not had a moment to grieve.
He is consumed with a mission, he says: to stop a war and send a message of peace. “Only hope can extinguish extremists and this cycle of bloodshed,” he insists. “It will not be by opening a new front or another invasion of Gaza.”
