A Vision of Peace and Prosperity: Hope for Israel, Palestine, IMEC, and 2025

In the land where the olive trees grow,
Under skies both friend and foe,
A yearning rises, ancient and deep,
For dreams of peace that will not sleep.

The wind carries whispers through ancient stones,
Echoes of prayers in soft, hushed tones.
“Let swords be plowshares, let hate subside,
Let hearts be bridges where hopes reside.”

Oh land of prophets, sacred, scarred,
Where history’s wounds have healed so hard,
May IMEC’s corridors light the way,
Uniting dreams from night to day.

No more the cries of broken walls,
No shadowed streets where silence calls.
But laughter ringing, children’s play,
In towns and valleys, night and day.

For every tear the desert drinks,
For every soul on hatred’s brink,
May kindness bloom, as wildflowers grow,
In soil where peace seemed long ago.

Let leaders rise with vision clear,
To guide with wisdom, calm, and care.
Let justice walk where fear once stood,
And mercy mend the brotherhood.

Together in this hallowed place,
Where faiths entwine, and dreams embrace,
Let Israel and Palestine stand as one,
Under the light of a common sun.

2025, may you reveal,
The truth that unity can heal.
With IMEC’s hand in global care,
A brighter future lingers there.

Let trade flow freely, bridges expand,
Through IMEC’s vision, hand in hand.
A corridor of hope, a lifeline drawn,
To carry the seeds of a peaceful dawn.

Through ports and railways, dreams converge,
Boundaries soften, ambitions surge.
Goods and ideas, like rivers, stream,
Building prosperity from a shared dream.

Let this initiative, bold and wise,
Bring brighter futures to weary skies.
Where once was conflict, let commerce thrive,
And hope for millions come alive.

For IMEC is more than steel and stone,
It’s a testament to what’s grown—
A path to peace, a chance to mend,
A symbol of neighbors becoming friends.

May Israel and Palestine both embrace
This opportunity to erase
The scars of old, and start anew,
With dignity for all, long overdue.

2025, may you impart
A unity of mind and heart.
Through trade, through trust, through actions fair,
May IMEC’s vision lead us there.
