Shaul Gabbay, Ph.D., was born and reared in Tel Aviv. The son of Jewish Arab refugees, his coming of age in Israel filled him with a sense of belonging and pride. He will discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and deliver fascinating narratives of both sides revealing different perspective about the simmering conflict in a region desperately needing peaceful resolution. Educated in Israel, Gabbay’s Ph.D. is from Columbia University, followed by postdoctoral studies at the University of Chicago. Gabbay is the former Executive Director of the Institute for the Study of Israel in the Middle East at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver and co-author of the book “One Land Two Stories.” The book examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspectives of Gabbay, an Israeli Jew, and Aman Kazak, Ph.D., a Palestinian Muslim. The two tell their individual stories side-by-side, giving readers a unique and in-depth look into the history about the conflict.

Gabbay is currently a Principle and Co-Founder of Israel Investment Advisors Inc., as well as the Founding Chairman of StandWithUs Colorado Board of Directors. Professor Gabbay appears and consults as an expert on immigration and business legal matters concerning the Middle East and the Muslim World. He is a media commentator on CBS, NBC, FOX and MSNBC – analyzing news of the Muslim world and the Middle East.
