18 minutes on @CNN with @amanpour to share @MasarJdid vision and defend our people’s right to freedom, democracy, and a dignified life. My message was clear: what was postponed was more than an election. It was an opportunity for a young generation to participate peacefully in shaping its future. We keep telling our young people that the ballot can change their lives, then the door closes again and again—making the case for democratic change increasingly difficult. I spoke about our vision: an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, freedom for Palestinians and security for Israelis, and politics that improve everyday life—so students can reach their schools, farmers their land, workers their jobs, and patients the treatment they need. From my years in prison to my years of dialogue, I learned that understanding others does not mean surrendering our rights. Building trust can open a path to achieving them. I know the depth of the anger and pain, especially in Gaza. That is why I remain committed to a path that offers our children a way out of suffering. We will continue demanding elections, working alongside our communities, and defending their right to choose their leaders and hold them accountable.
