There is no space for war in our beautiful world

The recent election of Donald Trump as President has already begun to ripple across global markets and international relations. With his well-known stance on tariffs and strong-handed economic policies, we’re witnessing early shifts in trade dynamics and diplomatic tone. Just days ago, the U.S. passed a landmark bill aimed at establishing itself as the central hub of the digital economy—an ambitious move that could reshape the global tech landscape.

One thing is clear: when America acts, the world feels it. If these moves are guided with vision and responsibility, they could lead to progress and prosperity not just for the U.S., but for the international community.

However, escalating tensions in the Middle East—specifically the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel—cast a shadow over this potential. President Trump must leverage his leadership to de-escalate this crisis. The world no longer has room for war. We demand peace, not politics played with lives.

Prime Minister Netanyahu must also understand: war is not strength. It is devastation. Innocent lives are being lost, and history will remember how today’s leaders chose to act.

The world is watching—what we need now is peace and stability.
