Who We Are

PRINCIPLES

IPF is committed to a strong US-Israel relationship and to Israel’s security in the context of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a comprehensive resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflicts.  IPF’s nonpartisan work is driven by the belief that the United States is the only credible and effective mediator capable of helping the parties reach a two-state solution that will safeguard Israel’s security and future as a Jewish and democratic state.  While debate and discussion are helpful, the current divisiveness in the American Jewish community and in Washington on the issues of the US-Israel relationship and our shared pursuit of peace, are not. Community, policy and business leaders must provide the much-needed backing and encouragement for the kind of courageous leadership necessary to overcoming these obstacles. 

WORK 

IPF mobilizes mainstream policy, community and business leaders to advocate for responsible U.S. engagement that advances the shared interests of the United States and the State of Israel.  IPF conducts targeted advocacy meetings in Washington, private and public educational briefings for leaders across the country, and delegations to link American leaders with their counterparts in the region.  IPF connects policymakers and analysts with key members of the media through private briefings and conference calls, and produces insightful commentary, analysis and policy recommendations backed by IPF’s expansive network of influential analysts, former government officials, and community and business leaders.
