A Reason for Hope

We join advocates of humanitarianism and justice worldwide in rejoicing as hostages begin to be released from Hamas captivity, and we eagerly await the safe and swift return of all those still being held in Gaza.

At the same time, we recognize the profound toll this crisis has had on the people of Israel and the region at large, including our colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science and their families. The impact on the physical and mental health of the survivors is significant, and the road to recovery is long.

We mourn for those who have lost their lives and pray their loved ones find comfort, peace, and closure.

We remain steadfast in our support of Israel and for a future of lasting peace.
