The Future is Peace
Spearheaded by Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon, InterAct’s mission is to build lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians by 2030. We believe this is possible through fostering genuine understanding and creating spaces for meaningful dialogue. We are dedicated to building stronger relationships between Muslims, Jews, Christians, and other communities connected to the region, both within Israel/Palestine and globally.
The Future Is Peace
A Shared Journey Across the Holy Land
By Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon
Two lifelong peace activists and guides to Israel/Palestine, both of whom have lost family in the conflict, take readers on a revealing life-changing journey across this holy, bloodstained land and discover the mythic, political, and personal history that divides but also binds them and their peoples.

InterAct's work is grounded in these core principles:
-
Shared Humanity: We believe in the inherent goodness of all people and that our shared humanity transcends cultural and religious differences.
-
The Power of Dialogue: We believe that meeting and engaging in respectful dialogue is the foundation for overcoming bias and building understanding.
-
Equal Relationships: We strive to create equal relationships based on dignity and respect, recognizing that these are essential for lasting peace.
-
Hope as Action: We believe that hope is not passive; it's an active commitment to building a better future together.
-
The Possibility of Peace: We believe that peace is possible, and that no conflict is beyond reconciliation.
In April 2024, Aziz and Maoz opened the first TED2024 session with their viral talk: “A Palestinian and an Israeli, Face to Face,” in which they discuss the intimacy of their personal loss and how from it they choose a path of hope and peace. Their talk has received more than 2.3 million views on the TED website (the third most viewed talk of 2024) and 1.8 million views on YouTube.
