A Bus Ride with Turks and Their Children

On a ferry in Istanbul, surrounded by the genetic tapestry of the Bosphorus, I realised we were all passengers on a bus with an ever-changing destination. The sign over the windscreen says "Turk", but the route—and who gets to board—has been repainted for over a millennium.

Beyond a Ceasefire: Peacebuilding in Palestine and International Territorial Administration

A year on from the horrific terror attacks on October the 7th and with tens of thousands of civilians dead, peace and the possibility of justice in Palestine feel impossible in light of the harrowing day-to-day experiences of Palestinians and Israelis. Nevertheless, it is worth considering what fate awaits the people between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea beyond a ceasefire. Where the status quo is clearly unworkable, how can we build peace and manifest justice? What systems of governance can be built to provide justice and peace for the future? Are there examples that we can learn from in order not to repeat historical mistakes?
