Suleiman Dawabsheh

Suleiman Dawabsheh is the mayor of Duma, a Palestinian village surrounded by Israeli settlements. He advocates for the rights of his community, emphasizing the critical connection between their agricultural livelihood and access to land, which has been increasingly restricted due to settlement activities. Dawabsheh has witnessed horrific violence against his village, including a major attack by settlers in 2024, and he warns of the potential for escalating tensions that could lead to a new Intifada.
