Backgammon Unites Israelis and Palestinians

Currently serving at Private Equity Direct, LLC as its president and chief executive officer, Thomas P. Ivanyi has an extensive professional experience as a business executive, having previously served as the chief executive officer of companies iTvTrax, LLC and Hampton Partners Ltd. During his free time, Thomas P. Ivanyi enjoys backgammon and plays the game at an intermediate level. 

Despite its fluctuating popularity through the years, backgammon has remained to be a well-loved game around the world. A peaceful strategy board game, backgammon recently served as the centerpiece of a peaceful meeting of Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem.

Organized by peace group Kulna Yerushalayim, men, women, and children from both sides of divided Jerusalem participated in the event. It was a rare moment of shared peace between the two groups as they exerted effort to maintain the peaceful atmosphere, with converted Jewish men even revisiting the Arabic diction they once spoke. Although it only lasted four days, the backgammon event served as a functioning model for the potential reconciliation of both parties in the future.
