Thousands rally for peace in Jerusalem

Thousands gathered in Jerusalem today for a rare demonstration advocating for peace amid the ongoing conflict. The event occurred as the war enters its 20th month, with the humanitarian situation in Gaza considered critical. The demonstration was organized by a coalition of approximately 60 local organizations seeking a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Palestinian diplomat Nasser al-Kidwa presented a peace plan. The plan includes a land swap and joint sovereignty in Jerusalem. The peace plan proposes a two-state solution, including land exchanges and shared governance. The event highlighted the urgency for peace, especially given the recent Israeli plans for Gaza and the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
