Izzeldin Abuelaish, a Palestinian nominee who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize five times, is resolute in his advocacy for peace even after Israeli forces killed 25 members of his family.

In an emotional interview with Piers Morgan, Dr Abuelaish holds up pictures of the many family members who had been killed in Israeli strikes. As he introduces each family member who perished, viewers are reminded that Palestinians "are not numbers, they are human".

Dr Abuelaish also said he raised his late daughters to be advocates for humanity, and that a peaceful resolution can only be achieved through political and diplomatic means.
