Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish - "Bridging Gaza and Israel: A Palestinian Physician's Quest to Heal Israeli-Palestinian Relations" Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Gazan gynecologist who is described by an Israeli medical colleague as a "magical, secret bridge between Israelis and Palestinians." In early 2009, Dr. Abuelaish tragically lost three of his daughters in an Israeli mortar attack on his home. In the face of this enormous personal loss, Dr. Abuelaish has continued to advocate for peace and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians. He is a nominee for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
