**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic speech addressing a pressing international issue, specifically the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. It mentions the tragic event of seven Palestinians being brutally murdered and the subsequent violence and retribution. The speech also mentions the desire for peace and the need for a fruitful and peaceful dialogue between the parties involved. This suggests that the topic is not related to economic development, industry, or other categories that focus on concrete actions or projects. Instead, it seems to be focused on the humanitarian and political aspects of the conflict.
