I stood before the monument in Hiroshima, and couldn't help but think - what if? | Ilana Shoshan

Attorney Ilana Shoshan stands before the monument in Hiroshima, reflecting on Iranian threats, the lessons of October 7, and the need for Palestinian remorse as a condition for peace.

Attorney Ilana Shoshan stands before the monument in Hiroshima Peace Park, Japan, reflecting on Iranian threats to destroy Israel and the lessons of October 7. She refers to Hamas's 'Jericho Wall' plan, which was in the hands of the security establishment, but the assessment that Hamas was incapable of implementing it outweighed the warnings. Shoshan compares post-war Japan, which enshrined in its constitution a renunciation of war, to Gaza, where she says there is a lack of an expression of remorse for the acts of October 7. She calls for Palestinian responsibility as a condition for hope for future peace.
