The Open Society Foundations have expressed profound concern over the escalating violence in the ongoing Hamas-Israel war.
They have called for support for diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a humanitarian ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
The organization unequivocally condemns the attacks conducted by Hamas on Israeli citizens and mourns the loss of innocent lives.
While recognizing Israel’s right to defend its citizens, they have raised concerns about the impact of the military campaign on civilians and the need to respect international humanitarian law.
The Open Society Foundations emphasize the importance of immediate humanitarian relief for Gaza, the release of hostages, and efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region.
They also stress the need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the principle of national self-determination, as the only realistic and viable outcome.
The organization has a history of supporting efforts for a fair and enduring solution in Palestine and Israel, focusing on human rights, equality, and justice for all.
