Dalia Ziada

politician

Dalia Ziada is an Egyptian researcher and peace activist known for her outspoken views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Following her public condemnation of Hamas's actions in October 2023, she faced severe backlash, including threats to her life from extremist groups. Ziada's advocacy for Israel's right to defend itself and her calls for Arab countries to support Israel were met with outrage in Egypt, leading her to flee the country. She currently works as a senior research fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, where she continues her efforts to promote dialogue and peace between Jews and Arabs.
