Gaza – Zaytoun News
A group of prominent business, academic, and community leaders in Gaza have issued an open appeal to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, urging him to intervene immediately to halt the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip. The letter described the moment as “a time of destiny” in which history is waiting for a leader to act with courage and decisiveness.
“Our homes are destroyed, our families are grieving, and our children know only fear. Yet in this darkness, we see a leader who has always spoken of doing what others could not—of making the deals and decisions that change history,” the appeal stated.
The signatories stressed that Gaza is not only facing a humanitarian crisis but also a historic turning point that requires strong leadership to end the bloodshed, protect civilians, and open a path toward lasting peace. They urged Trump to be remembered not only as President of the United States but as a world leader who stood up for humanity in its darkest hour.
