The issue is not only achieving ceasefires in this moment in time.

The question is implementation.

And I see this in the different countries and also applies to Gaza.

Because now the big problem is implementation, whether we see this happening or not.

So our focus within our coalition is to ensure that the momentum stays, that the pressure stays, that we see actually implementation happening.

of the ceasefire and the agreements, and that while we do that, we try to deter some of the very dangerous things that are happening in the West Bank with settler violence and with the threats of annexation so we can advance the political horizon.

I think we have a collective responsibility to move from kind of a performative sense of solidarity to actionable solidarity.

I think it's very important that we actually lend our social capital, our political capital, our financial capital to create, frankly, a movement around peace.

And I do often admire the movement around the question of the climate, but I do think we are at a moment of a peace crisis and a security crisis, which needs to trigger the kind of movement building, the kind of investment, the kind of engagement that the climate crisis requires.

So I do hope that platforms and conferences like TED and the amazing community that I've seen here start to also lend its energy

and its support to how do we, in this era of might is right, in this era where we're seeing brute forces is back in fashion, how do we collectively push for de-escalation, rebuilding societies that are more peaceful, that are less polarized.

And we work together in coalitions with different sectors, with those in technology and those in investment and those in the economy and those in the public opinion and those in the arts and those in peace business.

We need to work together.

Okay.

Hiba, thank you so much.

Thank you.
