Bambi does not know Mr. Malik Ghazi. She just recalls how much she was touched by his worrisome story, which took place on October 13, 2025. She read about it in Naharnet, which also published his beautiful picture: “20-year-old goes missing in Ain Aata. Young man Malik Ghazi, born in 2005, went missing after leaving to have a quick workout in his hometown of Ain Aata in the Rashaya district yesterday, Sunday, at 11:00 am, and has not returned home. If you have any information about him, please contact: 03/318505″ (https://tinyurl.com/vykrjse3).
Back then, she wondered what happened to this young man. She suspected an Israeli ugly war act and she prayed for him and for his family before closing her eyes to sleep.
Today, she read about wonderful news coming from out of Israel, as reported by the Lebanese Naharnet: “Israel on Thursday released Lebanese captive Malek Ghazi, who was handed over to the Lebanese Army through the Red Cross. Israel will also release four more Lebanese captives and return them to Lebanon as a diplomatic “gesture” to the government in Beirut amid ongoing negotiations between the two sides, an Israeli official confirmed. Israel’s Channel 12 said the move comes in coordination with the U.S. and within the framework of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel. More than 30 Lebanese captives are still believed to be in Israel’s custody” (https://tinyurl.com/mu3rdjh5).
May everyone return back home safe and sound, starting with the four war prisoners who may hopefully be released tomorrow. May the Israeli-related request about the remains of the Jewish Lebanese people kidnapped/killed by the Hezbollah during the Lebanese civil war be also taken seriously.
May both the Israeli occupation, along with any kidnapping, and the Hezbollah’s illegal weapons end. May Lebanon be sovereign and capable of protecting its citizens. Enough of absurd violence and civilian suffering. Enough of wars.
YES, it is Bambi’s dream that reason will return to people’s minds and love, along with forgiveness, to their hearts. May peace prevail in everyone’s inner world as well as across borders. All innocent people deserve to live in dignity, freedom, and peace. Life is already too short… Let’s not make shorter.
As for Mr. Malik Ghazi et al., Bambi who is delighted for them wishes them all the best!
