This song is dedicated to the 1993 Oslo Accords—an historic moment in the pursuit of peace between Israel and Palestine. The Accords were signed by three key figures: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, and U.S. President Bill Clinton. The iconic image of Rabin and Arafat shaking hands, with President Clinton standing between them, remains a powerful symbol of hope and diplomacy.

The visuals in this video are intentionally designed to evoke emotion, portraying the shared dream of peace, unity, and coexistence between the people of Israel and Palestine.

Many in my personal life have said that peace between Israel and Palestine is impossible. I respectfully disagree. The first step toward a better future is believing that peace is possible. When we choose to believe, we open the door to dialogue, compassion, and meaningful progress—not only for Israel and Palestine, but for all of humanity.
