The Future is Peace

What does it take to envision peace in the face of profound personal loss? Join Palestinian peacebuilder Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli peace activist Maoz Inon, coauthors of The Future Is Peace, for a powerful conversation about grief, reconciliation, and hope. Both have experienced unimaginable loss through the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, yet remain committed to building bridges through dialogue and understanding. Drawing on their personal stories and shared experiences, they offer unique perspectives on the region's complex history and the possibility of a more peaceful future. Aziz Abu Sarah is a Palestinian peacemaker, co-founder of InterAct International, and co-author with Maoz Inon of The Future Is Peace. The loss of his brother, who had been detained in an Israeli prison, was a turning point. Aziz's grief and initial desire for revenge transformed into a lifelong commitment to reconciliation. From his roots in Jerusalem, he has become a global advocate for peace, implementing projects in over 80 countries. In 2009 he co-founded MEJDI Tours, introducing the groundbreaking Dual Narrative™ approach with Israeli and Palestinian guides leading tours together.
