From Business Habit: Young Palestinian girl Layan Al-Qouqa, together with local artists, painted a large mural of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on the wall of a damaged building. According to publicly reported accounts, the artwork was created as a gesture of appreciation for Spain and its people.
In a video message, Layan said the mural was made with love and gratitude. Pedro Sánchez later responded by thanking Layan and the artists for what he called a “beautiful gesture,” saying that the people of Spain hear, see, and care about the children and families of Gaza, while expressing hope that they can one day live, create, and dream in peace.
Beyond politics, the story highlights the enduring power of “art, compassion, and human connection—showing how creativity can carry hope even in the most difficult circumstances.

From Ghulam Murtaza Dahar:
The images coming out of Gaza have been seen by billions of people in real time. Satellite footage. Videos from journalists. Testimonies from doctors. Aid workers. Families searching through rubble. Children pulled from collapsed buildings. Entire neighborhoods reduced to dust.
Never before has a modern war been documented so extensively while remaining so fiercely contested in the court of global opinion.
Many human rights organizations, legal experts, and governments have raised grave allegations about Israel’s conduct in Gaza, while Israel strongly rejects accusations of genocide and says it is acting in self-defense against Hamas.
But whatever legal judgment history ultimately reaches, one reality cannot be erased. The destruction is real. The civilian suffering is real. The graves are real.
Governments may debate definitions. Politicians may argue over terminology. Courts may take years to deliver verdicts.History, however, will remember what the world witnessed.
And future generations will ask not only what happened in Gaza, but who chose to look away
