Rami settles into his chair legs out before him confident, Bassam settles into his chair legs crossed feet tucked under the chair. Different characters, different histories on display alongside their common experience of loss and common purpose in the pursuit of peace. Perhaps this subtle body language can be interpreted as an indicator of how difficult it is to find a peace solution for nations when the new future has to escape the past.
