IPCRI is a joint institution of Israelis and Palestinian dedicated to the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the basis of the “two-states for two peoples” solution. IPCRI seeks to serve as an intellectual platform based on Israelis and Palestinians (and others) for the purpose of creating and developing new concepts, ideas and conceptions that enrich the political and public discourse in order to influence decision makers. IPCRI works to create mutual understandings of the cultures and the religions in the region. We must focus our attention to creating common spaces for shared values and for learning to appreciate the differences that enrich our societies. IPCRI is an institution with influence – Israeli, Palestinian and international political leaders want to hear what IPCRI has to say. IPCRI has access to the highest level decision makers in the region and policy papers end up on their desks for discussion and follow-up.Main Projects / Activities
