Palestinian activist Hamze Awawde and Israeli activist Itzik Goldberger will be in conversation. Through their dialogue, they are helping to expand awareness and hope as the world shifts from constant war to collective liberation. 

Hamze Awawde is a Palestinian peace activist and conflict resolution expert; he holds a master's degree in Global Community Development from the Hebrew University. His family was strongly involved in the Palestinian national movement, during which his grandfather was killed. This history showed Hamze the need to break the cycle of bloodshed and he has worked for many years to seek joint liberation and a shared future. Since October 2023, Hamze has intensified efforts in collaboration with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists, calling for a cessation of violence, creating hope, and fostering spaces for dialogue.

Itzik Goldberger is the managing partner of Aviv Partners, a management consulting firm. He supports nonprofits that work toward peace-building between Israelis and Palestinians. He is a founding member of UnXeptable (which advocates against the judicial overhaul in Israel and for hostage release), a JStreet member of the San Francisco Area Executive Committee. He is also a mentor in the Palestinian Mentorship Program.
