Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian-Canadian doctor, peace activist, and author of the book I Shall Not Hate (2011). He captured the world's attention with his courageous stance after losing three daughters during the 2009 Gaza War, yet publicly rejecting hatred and revenge. As a doctor, he has worked extensively in both Israeli and Palestinian hospitals and advocates for equal access to healthcare regardless of origin. He is the founder of the Daughters for Life Foundation, which supports the education of girls and women in the Middle East. Dr. Abuelaish has lectured at prestigious universities, including Harvard, spoken at the UN and the European Parliament, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2016. His voice brings an important perspective of humanity, forgiveness, and the right to a dignified life in times of polarisation and violence.
