Thanks to the generosity of the Atkin Foundation, ICSR is offering young leaders from Israel and the Arab world the opportunity to come to London for a period of four months, producing a research paper as the result of their work. The purpose of the fellowship is to provide young leaders from Israel and the Arab world with an opportunity to develop their ideas on how to further peace and understanding in the Middle East through research, debate and constructive dialogue in a neutral political environment.
In his paper ‘Under the Microscope: Israeli and Bi-National Peace NGOs’, Yosef Kedmi of Israel examines the role of non-governmental organisations dedicated to peace and improved relations between Israelis and Palestinians, focusing on organisational challenges to their ability to produce meaningful results in the region.
