IPCRI, founded in Jerusalem in 1988, is the only joint Palestinian-Israeli public policy think-tank in the world. It is devoted to developing practical solutions for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
IPCRI deals with the cardinal issues in the Israeli-Arab conflict - issues where the two sides find themselves at loggerheads, and where cooperation is necessary.
We concern ourselves with all the major stumbling blocks that divide Israelis and Palestinians:
- What is the nature of the final status agreement that the two sides must reach - two states, confederal and power-sharing arrangements, links with Jordan etc.
- Where should the borders between the two entities be drawn?
- How to solve the intractable question of Jerusalem, the Holy City claimed by two nations and three monotheistic religions?
- What should happen to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip?
- How to guarantee the physical security of Israeli and Palestinian citizens against violence perpetrated by extremist opponents of the peace process on both sides?
- How to stimulate the economic development of the Palestinian territories in a way beneficial to both sides?
- How to solve the dearth of domestic, agricultural and industrial water for in our area?
- How to protect our vulnerable environment?
- How to educate two traumatized nations toward peaceful coexistence?
