SCHLOSS ELMAU has always been honored and grateful to host numerous guests, artists, and writers from Israel. My thoughts and heart go out to Israel. I share the pain and sorrow of all families who lost loved ones on Oct.7 and I pray for the safe liberation of the hostages. I am deeply shaken by the unfathomable atrocities in the genocidal massacre carried out by Hamas. Their relentless pursuit to annihilate Israel is also responsible for the suffering in Gaza, which only they can stop by releasing all hostages and ending their war against Israel. I hope that Israel will emerge from this incredible tragedy more united and secure than ever before, which would be for the sake of all Israelis and Palestinians yearning for peace and liberty.
