Hope across the ruins?

A symbolic fantasy scene of two allegorical women standing on opposite sides of a deep chasm amid a devastated city. The woman on the left weareth flowing garments in Iran’s colours—green and red billowing; the woman on the right is draped in white and blue robes bearing the Star of David. Both extend a hand toward one another across the divide, fingertips nearly touching but not quite meeting. Above, storm clouds part to reveal golden sunlight streaming through the centre, illuminating the gap. Below, shattered ruins stretch toward a distant coastline. White doves with olive branches stand among broken stonework—peace and reconciliation. Conflict, separation, hope, diplomacy, and the possibility of understanding despite profound division.

The Islamic Republic demands Israel withdraw from Lebanon for a tentative peace deal to take effect. {AP 16 June}

The signing ceremony for this ‘peace deal’ is scheduled for Friday in Switzerland. At this hour, I do not believe it is going to happen, as Netanyahu is adamant that the Israelis are not going to withdraw from Lebanon, to say nothing of the schism that hath developed between him and Trump (and, therefore, between America and Israel).

I shall not be surprised if this war is still ongoing a year from now. Or two.
