With Mohammed Darawshe, director of strategy at the Shared Society Center, Givat Haviva Educational Center, Galilee, Israel

When Hamas perpetrated the worst terrorist attack in Israel’s history on October 7th 2023, it targeted not only Jews, but also Israeli Arabs. Among those killed by Hamas on October 7th was Awad Darawshe, a 23 year-old paramedic, who was working at the Nova Music Festival, when the terrorists struck. In this webinar, Larry Diamond and Amichai Magen talk with Awad’s first cousin, Mohammed Darawshe, about the impact of October 7th and the subsequent war on Israeli Arabs and the prospects of Israeli-Palestinian peace.
