"Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish, a Gazan doctor who lost his three daughters to IDF fire during Israel's offensive in the Strip, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Ynet learned Sunday.

Abu al-Aish received a letter from the Nobel Committee officially declaring him a nominee for the prestigious award.

"I received the news at the end of a meeting with the president of the European parliament while I was visiting Belgium, where I was made an honorary citizen," he said in a telephone conversation from Canada.

"I wouldn't call my first response joy, personally it is not joyous, but it does encourage me to hope for the two people. This prize will make my tragedy into something positive for the human race. It is a victory for intelligence, a victory for hope for positive change for our two people."
