Eran Nissan is an Israeli peace activist. He is 31 years old, lives in Jaffa, and currently serves as the CEO of ‘Mehazkim‘, an Israeli progressive movement. Eran served as a combat soldier in the special forces of the Israeli military, and after his release, he decided to promote a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Eran’s political motivation is generational, as he believes that a conflict we pass on to our children is a conflict we lost. Eran headed the Education & Advocacy department in ‘Peace Now‘, Israel’s biggest and oldest peace movement advocating for the Two-State-Solution. Eran is also the Israeli regional coordinator for both ‘Solutions not Sides’, a British education programme for British youth which centres the voices and stories of Israeli and Palestinian change-makers, and ‘New Story Leadership’, which focus on equipping a new generation of Palestinian and Israeli leaders with the tools needed to create social, economic and political change in the region. In 2019 Eran interned in a congressional office in Washington D.C. as part of the ‘New Story Leadership’ summer internship program. Eran holds a B.A in political science & Philosophy, and an M.A. in Emergency & Disaster Management. Eran is also a certified dog trainer and a volunteer EMT and ambulance driver.
