Shared Cities and Regions
Nowhere do Jewish and Arab citizens live in closer proximity than in Israel’s seven mixed cities. Despite the potential for friction and conflict, these communities offer unique opportunities for collaboration and partnership. For the first time, the 2018 municipal elections in Israel resulted in Jewish-Arab city council coalitions in every mixed city. The Abraham Initiatives launched the Shared Cities Initiative to ensure the success of these nascent political partnerships, and to provide a model to communities quickly becoming mixed, as well as to the national political arena.
