‘We are transforming feelings of revenge into reconciliation. We
are transforming despair into hope, trauma into healing. So the
future is peace is also like a manual, like a guide, not just for
a shared journey across the holy land, but a guide for human
conscience.’

Rajan Datar speaks to Palestinian and Israeli authors and peace
activists Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon.

Maoz Inon‘s parents were killed during the Hamas attacks of
October 7th. Aziz Abu Sarah’s brother died after being detained
for nearly a year in an Israeli military prison. Together, they
have forged an unlikely friendship across the Israeli Palestine
divide, become leading voices for reconciliation, arguing that
peace can only be built through empathy, dialogue and a
recognition of each other’s humanity.

Their new book, The Future Is Peace, chronicles their eight day
drive across Israel and Palestine. They talk about loss,
forgiveness, and why they remain hopeful despite the devastation
of war. The Interview brings you conversations with people
shaping our world, from all over the world. You can listen on the
BBC World Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT.
Or you can listen to The Interview as a podcast, out three times
a week on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts.
