Tech billionaire Eyal Waldman remains hopeful for peace despite tragic loss of his daughter

Danielle Waldman and her friends experienced joy and celebration at the Supernova trance music festival before tragedy struck. A video captured their last moments, showing them relaxed and carefree in a car. However, they were unaware that they were being pursued. Minutes after the video ends, Hamas gunmen opened fire on their vehicle, killing Danielle, her boyfriend Noam Shai, and their friends. This massacre was part of a larger attack that claimed the lives of hundreds of Israelis attending the festival and living near the Gaza border. In response, Israel launched a war in Gaza to eliminate Hamas, resulting in significant casualties on both sides. The loss of lives, especially children, has devastated both Israeli and Palestinian families. Danielle's father, Eyal Waldman, is heartbroken over the loss of his daughter. Despite his grief, he still believes in the need for a Palestinian state, calling for new leadership on both sides to achieve peace and coexistence. He also seeks justice for his daughter's killers, determined to eliminate Hamas. As a former Israeli army officer, Waldman understands the realities of war but also emphasizes the importance of reconciliation. He regrets nothing in his efforts to promote peace, including his past contributions to Gaza. Danielle and Noam had dreams of marriage, children, and a peaceful life in the country, but instead, they were laid to rest together.
