What if the path to peace starts with self-interest? After four decades inside some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones, mediator Hiba Qasas has learned that most peacebuilding efforts get it wrong from the start. She makes a provocative case that conciliation shouldn’t begin with empathy — and reveals how leading with shared incentives brought hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian leaders into active collaboration, even in the midst of war.

    peacedeals don’t last because the war industry controls many of our governments, the parasite lives off death and destruction thats why those don’t last.

      Which banking institutions are passively helping to maintain those war industries for only short term gain causing long term pain for everyone.

    Sis u r scientificly right but
    U made a system without power to do it
    U r stil defective
    As a muslim arab Egyptian
    I felt u don’t know how to apply any of ur ideas or any idea
    Bcz u lack power
    Egypt didn’t get sinai back out of ideas but unity cooperation , coordination then fight endlessly till death
    After that we got sinai
    Other than that Israel would now be killing Muslims in sinai
    But not bcz of power not rooms

    That over-beurocratised peace, besides tax money, runs mostly on political propaganda that spans from east to west designed only to maintain that unfinished business.

    In conflict resolution you need to be clear on scope. Time moves on with a winner or it stalls with equality.

  9. @josefshopovich7584

    Because there’s a difference between peace between governments and peace between people.
    To have peace between people, both nations have to stop hating the citizens of the other people.
    Like actually change their educational system.

    One thing is always sure is that the US and Israel are the common denominator in every modern day war. Europe is not fighting wars, asia is not fighting wars but the US and Israel are.

  17. @davidjones2870

    The problem in Israel is that Netanyahu has actively prevented peace for the last 50 years. The solution is obvious.

When James G. Robinson’s son Nadav was born with a rare heart defect, he feared the worst. What he didn’t anticipate were the moments of unexpected wonder. In this profound talk, Robinson traces five years of impossible medical odds, a genetic discovery so strange it felt like fate … and how grateful he is to have experienced it all. His story is a vivid reminder of what it means to be human — an inexplicable gift, however fleeting. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 15, 2026)
