On rhe other hand I would think twice to organize debconf24 in other

When we discussed, with a few friends, about Debconf in Israel in 2018
in Brazil (in private), I raised the concern that in this area of the
world, nobody can forecast when a new episode of the conflict starts.
This is a very serious security concern, which even in 2018, lead me to
conclude it wasn't safe to plan for a travel in Israel. I feel very
sorry that I was right ... :(
Even if there's some kind of peace again, or at least, if the conflict
becomes dormant once more, there's never a guarantee that it will last
during Debconf. I don't think it's reasonable to take such a risk. I
very much prefer if we decide *NOW* to go somewhere safer.
BTW, I am, and will always be, on the side of peace. All of this is very
sad, and I hope that I will see durable peace in this land before I die.

P.S: I carefully avoided any word that may start a debate about the
current event. That should, IMO, stay away from Debian. I do expect
everyone else to do the same. If you want to have debates, there are
other more appropriate places than the Debian project.
