""I lost my parents on Oct. 7, but I won a brother. And for me, it's not a partnership, it's not a friendship, it's a brotherhood.""
""For the rest of my youth, the idea of revenge consumed and drove me. My perspective shifted after I enrolled in a Hebrew-language class... my walls began to come down.""
Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon, an Israeli and a Palestinian, developed a deep bond following the 2023 Gaza war. Both had previously run travel agencies and believed in the power of travel and education to unite people. The war changed their lives dramatically, especially for Inon, who lost his parents in a Hamas-led attack. Abu Sarah, who had faced his own trauma, reached out to Inon, leading to a relationship described as brotherhood rather than mere friendship. Their experiences are chronicled in their upcoming book, 'The Future Is Peace.'
