"We Must Create Hope": Israeli Who Lost Parents On Oct 7 Calls For Peace

Inon admitted that at first he struggled to call for peace and forgiveness "but this is the legacy of my parents. The future is going to be better," he said.

Israeli businessman Maoz Inon lost both his parents to the October 7 attacks by Hamas but while some bereaved have been baying for vengeance, the 49-year-old has been preaching peace.

"We didn't want to take revenge," Inon told AFP at a small peace rally in Shefa Amr in northern Israel that united Jews and Palestinians, a rare event since the war broke out.

Inon admitted that at first he struggled to call for peace and forgiveness "but this is the legacy of my parents. The future is going to be better," he said.
