- Title
Diplomacy Can Still Play a Pivotal Role in Gaza.

- Abstract
The recent escalation between Hamas and Israel has disrupted the gradual normalization of relations between the Arab world and Israel, which was initiated by the U.S.-mediated Abraham Accords. Libyan Foreign Minister Najla El Mangoush faced opposition and protests after her Israeli counterpart tweeted about a discreet meeting in Rome focused on regional security. El Mangoush's suspension reflects the challenge of reconciling U.S. pressures for normalization with Libyan public opinion that views Israel with enmity. Diplomatic efforts, such as Qatar's mediation between Hamas and Israel, have shown promise in fostering trust and establishing ceasefires. However, lasting peace in the Middle East will require Arab leaders to persuade their citizens of the merits of peaceful coexistence with Israel and support officials engaging in diplomatic dialogue.
