Ono Leader Profiled in Article About Trump’s Peacemaking and Arabs in Israel

Amir Assi, Chairman of the Arab Society Administration at Ono Academic College, was recently profiled in an article by senior Israeli journalist Nahum Barnea “When Trump Makes Peace” in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper. The article intertwines geopolitical analysis with human stories, highlighting the paradoxes of Trump’s transactional approach to Middle East peace. Barnea profiles Amir Assi, portraying him as a bridge-builder who advances coexistence by integrating Arab citizens into Israeli society. Barnea contrasts Trump’s style with Assi’s quiet, humane work at Ono, which fosters understanding between Jewish and Arab Israelis through education and mutual respect.
