Our Mission
The Abraham Initiatives is a Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli organisation that advances social inclusion and equal rights for Israel's Arab- Palestinian citizens by influencing public policy, shaping public opinion and demonstrating practical models for a shared society.
We envision Israel as a democratic state, homeland of the Jewish people and all its citizens, that guarantees and protects the full citizenship and equal rights of its Arab- Palestinian citizens; where Jewish-and Palestinian-Israelis co-create a cohesive, inclusive society.
The Abraham Initiatives UK supports the work done in Israel — by raising awareness and through fundraising.
