Humanity has been a casualty in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

In an op-ed published in Politico Europe, Andrew Miller shares key takeaways from the front lines of conflict negotiations between the United States and its overseas partners.

The last eight months of my tenure as deputy assistant secretary of state for Israeli-Palestinian affairs were defined by tragedy and loss.

Hamas’ horrific terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 killed roughly 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and resulted in another 251 hostages, devastating Israeli communities near the Gaza border and leading to mass evacuations. In the ensuing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Israel has killed over 40,000 people according to the Gaza-based Ministry of Health, including thousands of women and children, and displaced about 90 percent of Gaza’s population of over 2 million.
