Palestinian peace activist Aziz Abu Sarah lost his brother during the First Intifada, while Israeli campaigner Maoz Inon's parents were killed in the Hamas attacks of 7 October, 2023. They could have become enemies, but instead they have chosen brotherhood, working together to push for peace in the region. They spoke to RFI about their new book, in which they advocate for reconciliation as the only way to end the cycle of violence.

The 7 October attacks on Israel by Hamas militants killed 1,200 people, mainly civilians, while 251 others were taken hostage. Israel's counter-offensive on Gaza has killed more than 70,000 people in the territory, according to its Health Ministry.
