The Oslo Accords were signed between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, and this was a really important moment.

At that time, there was hope. There was hope that this would be an area that would be able to govern itself. It would be able to build for itself. It would be able to think about its infrastructure for itself. And, you know, Marwan's life and his career sort of maps out what happened.

Yeah. You know, he was born and raised in Gaza, studied water engineering in Gaza, and left for a small time to go be a water engineer abroad. After the Oslo Accords are signed, he sees this as his opportunity to come home and to put his engineering abilities to work in Gaza. He's there raising a family, and he describes, you know, the beginning of as a very heady time.

There was an idea that the Palestinian Authority was in charge and that they were going to be able to build a water system. Can you remember that time?

That was the part that just kind of like hit me in my heart when he described to me like they were young, they were full of hope. And he talks about getting plans from other small nations so that they can, you know, get an example of what are the other lessons learned? What are the things that we should be thinking about?

And I don't know, could you imagine, like, we've studied to be water engineers, and now we get to build our home's water system.

Yes, but more than a decade later, in 2006, Hamas wins an election, and with that comes a period of violence between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Eventually, Hamas controls Gaza, but the Palestinian Water Authority was allowed, I should say, by Hamas to continue doing its work. And I think this is because they knew that the PWA knew what to do.

They had the engineers and people need water. And Marwan, he essentially keeps his head down during this time.
