Former U.S. President Barack Obama has urged the international community to support efforts in rebuilding Gaza and fostering peace between Israel and Palestine. In a statement posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Obama acknowledged the immense suffering endured by both Israelis and Palestinians over the past two years.
He expressed hope that the conflict is nearing an end, allowing for the safe return of hostages and the delivery of much-needed humanitarian aid to Gaza. However, Obama emphasized that the real challenge lies ahead—rebuilding Gaza and working toward a sustainable peace that respects the rights and dignity of both peoples.
Obama called on the United States and the global community to assist in reconstruction efforts, stressing that lasting stability can only be achieved through mutual recognition and cooperation. His statement has drawn attention from world leaders and humanitarian organizations, with many viewing it as a push for renewed diplomatic engagement in the region.
The appeal comes at a critical time, as cease-fire negotiations continue and Gaza faces severe infrastructure damage. While reactions remain mixed, Obama’s message highlights the urgent need for collective action in addressing both immediate relief and long-term reconciliation.
