PhD candidate in Community and Regional Planning with a focus on water resources management and conflict resolution and mediation. More precisely, my field of interest pertains to the geopolitical and hydropolitical aspects of water resources in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the transboundary management of water resources, and multinational environmental policies in the Middle East.
Being a native Palestinian from the Gaza Strip, and raised during the Palestinian Intifada in a region engulfed in a weighty political power struggle, I became cognizant of the genuine value of water as the sustainer of life.
