Patriarch Emeritus Michel Sabbah - البطريرك ميشيل صباح chair of Kairos Palestine said in his article "Patriarch Sabbah: The real cause of the war in Gaza—and the only path to peace":
"Under Israeli military occupation, Gaza—and all of Palestine—has suffered thousands of deaths, thousands more taken as political prisoners, demolished houses, military checkpoints on all roads that disrupt freedom of movement and daily life, and a paralyzed, dependent Palestinian economy. In short, we are in a permanent state of war. This is the root cause of all wars in Gaza, including the one following Oct. 7. And despite the useless, inhuman violence of the present war, more will come if a just and lasting peace is not reached between the two peoples."
