Two activists: one Palestinian, one Israeli. A unique friendship and a life-changing journey across the holy land.
The achievement of Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon’s short but immensely poignant account of a shared journey . . . remains true to the horror while refusing to be defeated by it. It is raw with pain and rage and yet bravely insistent on the imperative of hope . . . They have the courage to insist that human beings can and must listen to one another’s stories and recognize their own suffering within them. Their moving and fortifying book does not show us the way to the far side of revenge, but it does convince us that it must exist.

New York TimesIn the face of the suffering of these two brothers and the suffering of these two nations, I have no words. They have had the courage to embrace each other. Let us pray for peace, and for these two brothers to bring the will to work for peace to their people

the book
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People have lost hope that peace is possible. Talking about peace seems too vulnerable, too naïve, too dangerous. We have resigned ourselves to this unending war as the only way forward. But we have tried this. We have tried war. The only war that is won is one that leads to peace.
On paper Aziz and Maoz should not be friends. Aziz’s brother was killed by Israeli forces, and Maoz lost both his parents in the 7 October 2023 attacks. In The Future is Peace, these two lifelong peace activists take readers on a searing journey to understand this holy, bloodstained land and explore each other’s personal and national histories.
Pairing unapologetic candour and inspirational prose, Abu Sarah and Inon are sending a message to humanity that the people have the power to make change. Peace is achievable, not just between Palestinians and Israelis, but throughout the world.

Only knowledge and understanding can create reconciliation and peace. Leave it to Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon, who made this remarkable book together, and there could be and would be peace in the Holy Land. Let this book be read all over the world by young and old, Muslim and Jew and Christian alike, and hate will shrivel and die. Then and only then can the seeds of peace can be sown. How we all need that. And how we all need this book
Michael Morpugo
Hopeful and inspirational, The Future is Peace is a walk through the land and history of Israel and Palestine that shows how two peace activists - an Israeli and a Palestinian - respect each other's narratives and dare to dream magically of peace amidst the reality of conflict
Simon Sebag-montefiore
How can we forget the courageous embrace between Maoz Inon, an Israeli whose parents were killed by Hamas, and Aziz Abu Sarah, a Palestinian whose brother was killed by the Israeli army. They are now friends and work with one another. That gesture remains as a testimony and sign of hope

Two courageous, beautiful human beings
