Rep. Bowman believes that a fair and just resolution to the conflict in Israel must ensure that there is a clear distinction between the citizens of Israel and the government. This distinction includes viewing the citizens of Israel as individuals who are also struggling under the same conflicts and challenges that the Israeli government itself is facing. By keeping this distinction front of mind, it will allow for the international community to address the needs of both the citizens of Israel and the government as separate entities, and thus create a more effective path to a just and lasting peace.
