Despite the inhumanity of Israel's Gaza war and his own suffering in it, Doctor Abu al-Aish said he would dedicate the prize, if he won, to Israel and Palestine.

A Palestinian doctor whose three daughters were killed by Israeli troops in the Gaza war has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize,
an Israeli minister said on Monday.
"I have been informed that the Nobel committee has recognised doctor (Ezzedine) Abu al-Aish as a nominee for the peace prize, and I want to warmly congratulate him," Avishay Braverman, minister in charge of minorities, said.
Aish has vowed to devote himself to the search for peace between Israel and the Palestinians even though his three daughters were killed in January by Israeli troops who later said they mistook the girls for spotters directing Hamas fire.
"We must live in peace. I hope they will be the last children to die," he said after the death of his daughters.
He told Israel's Ynet News that if he received the Nobel prize he would dedicate it to Israel and the Palestinians.
