What you take for granted is a privilege for others. People like Muna. She doesn't want to fight. She doesn't want to stay in a bad life. She's only looking for a better life. Our vision, or I would say, everyone's vision in Gaza — which I am very privileged to represent the people back home — is to have a good life, a future. We need to build the infrastructure of hope. We want to tell them it's possible to happen, it's possible to be treated as a human being. I don't have to cross four borders to come here. I can just go to the airport, see the people outside, see what the world looks like.
