Mark Halawa is a Jerusalem-based entrepreneur and cross-regional business conduit shaped by life across the Middle East, North America, and Israel. Born to a Palestinian Muslim family and raised in Kuwait, Jordan, and Syria, he later immigrated to Canada, where an unexpected discovery about his heritage sparked a profound personal transformation.
Driven by curiosity rather than conflict, Mark began exploring Judaism and his own heritage. A transformative journey to Poland, followed by a visit to Israel in 2009, deepened his connection and sparked an unexpected love for the Jewish people and their story.
Since 2008, Mark has built a successful career as a business conduit, fostering partnerships between Israel and the Arabian Gulf states, bridging cultures much like he has bridged identities.
Mark lives in Jerusalem with his wife and two daughters, sharing his remarkable personal journey and professional insights with audiences around the world.
