Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists murdered families in their homes, young people at a music festival, and people protecting their neighbors. They committed massive acts of sexual violence against men and women, took hostages, and shattered lives. That horrific day set off a chain of events that brought war, loss, and suffering to families across the Middle East. Today, we remember those killed on October 7 and stand with the survivors and families who carry that trauma and grief every day. But let me offer a hopeful note: what happened last week with the Flydubai flight offers a glimpse of what the future can look like in the Middle East. When that flight carrying Israelis was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, the passengers — regardless of their faith — were met with professionalism and humanity. They received medical care, they were kept safe, and they were able to continue on to Israel. Peace and trust — that’s the future we should be striving for in the Middle East. As an American and a Jew, I will never forget October 7th, 2023 — but, just as importantly, I will also never give up on that future for Israelis and Palestinian. Where cooperation becomes the norm and shared interests are stronger than old divisions.
