Jewish-Arab partnership is critical to Israel’s moral fabric and to a democratic future based on equality for all its citizens. In the wake of the recent crisis, NIF is redoubling our investing in initiatives that foster Jewish-Arab cooperation, combat racism and extremism, and advance public legitimacy for Jewish-Arab partnership, and which bring representatives of the Palestinian community in Israel into local and national decision-making.

Two NIF grantees have launched campaigns to end the systematic targeting and arrest of Arab-Israeli activists across Israel.

NIF grantee, Omdim Beyachad (Standing Together), has mobilized tens of thousands of Israelis — Jewish and Arab — over the past few weeks to unite under a vision of justice and equality for all.

Shatil, NIF’s action-arm in Israel, is helping social change groups advocate for progressive change.

On campuses throughout Israel, NIF grantee Omdim Beyachad helps organize students to protest pandemic-driven economic hardship.

Omdim Beyachad (Standing Together) staged a creative protest against the government’s mishandling of the COVID-19 crisis.

Protest numbers continue to build in the demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the government handling of COVID-19 and the economic crisis.

NIF grantees including Omdim Beyachad (Standing Together) participate in widespread demonstrations throughout Israel demanding government accountability and assistance during this crisis.
