Had to stop by the blossoming trees- as spring arrives- along the road between Beirut and Damascus, symbolizing hopes for the future for 🇸🇾&🇱🇧, for recovery & for ceasefires in the region to hold & develop into lasting, just and peaceful political solutions.

What I wish for this #EidAlAdha is ceasefire and an end to the Gaza-war. More aid to reach people in Gaza. An end to killing of civilians. More empathy. Families of hostages to have their loved ones back. More support to the PA. Political solutions. #EidMubarak
