Maryam Younnes’ family once fled Lebanon to Israel. At school she noticed: The two countries know little about each other. The 29-year-old is trying to change that.
Rockets from Lebanon fly over Maryam Younnes’ house on the day of the talks. The 29-year-old lives in northern Israel, near the border to her old homeland; She hears the war every day. Israel is firing back – according to the military, at the terrorist militia Hezbollah, whose end Younnes also wants. Nevertheless, Lebanese civilians are repeatedly killed in the strikes. “I feel torn,” says the young woman – torn between two home countries.
