Who is Jawdat Ibrahim?

Jawdat Ibrahim is an Israeli Arab millionaire who has established a fund that gives scholarships to both Arab and Jewish university students, and has hosted informal peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian National Authority leaders at his popular Abu Ghosh restaurant. Ibrahim lived in Chicago for six years, but returned to Israel after winning $17.5 million in the Illinois State Lottery.
