Oscar Winners Call for Peace as Gaza Faces Humanitarian Crisis

At the Oscars, Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham won Best Documentary Feature for their film 'No Other Land', which highlights the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers. During their acceptance speech, they called for an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the urgent need for peace and the liberation of Palestine. Adra, a Palestinian activist, expressed hope for a future free from fear for his daughter, while Abraham, an Israeli journalist, acknowledged the unequal conditions they face under differing laws. They criticized U.S. foreign policy for obstructing peace efforts and urged the world to recognize the ongoing injustices faced by Palestinians. The documentary captures their unique friendship and the stark realities of their lives, further intensified by the recent violence that erupted following Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023. Their heartfelt appeal resonated with the audience, drawing attention to the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and the broader conflict.
