Dalia I want to wish you the best of luck. I am an Israeli and I loved reading this. I really hope to see more and more engineers from Gaza getting opportunities like the one you have.

In a previous role of mine I had the privilege of meeting and working with some Palestinian Engineers from the West Bank. It was only for a few days as it was an internal company hackathon, but it was still great and we are still in contact today.

Sure there were some differences and some interesting conversations but it also allowed us to hear each other’s perspective and to solve engineering problems together.

I hope to see more Palestinian Engineers succeeding like you are and also more Israeli and Palestinian engineers working on projects together.

Good luck and all the best!

Thank you for posting this. It reminds us that in any difficult situation the common man and woman on the ground can still be civil and have mutual respect

More often than not the common people on the ground have no personal reason to hate each other. Activists (I’m using this term to refer to all politically engaged individuals taking action according to their camp) and politicians are the ones stoking the tensions and creating situations to their advantage.

Peace is around the corner. Soon more opportunities will open up for more Gazans. .(edit: i'm looking forward to the day)

Leadership will need to change first.

It's happening already! The Abraham Accords are the first step. Another half- generation or so, leadership issues will have resolved themselves. There's no point twiddling thumbs and waiting for bibi or abbas to expire.
