Bridging Insights is a network of Israeli, Palestinian and international partners seeking to promote a consensus-based solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Our main activities include applied research and knowledge-building, consensus-based strategic planning (in collaborative and round table formats) and networking and outreach to stakeholders and supporters to broaden our support base. Our organizational structure is still in formation (though we are looking to incorporate as an NGO initiative soon). At present we are a growing network of voluntary staff, leadership and partners—including a wide array of Israeli, Palestinian, American, European and other individuals from academic, social entrepreneurial, public/political, NGO, community leadership and other sectors. In the interim, we have begun fundraising efforts through our partners in a U.S-based foundation who are assisting us to build up a funder base overseas.
Bridging Insights (BI) is an innovative initiative aiming to create a process that will increase and optimize the chances of dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ensuring a better future for both peoples and eventually enable a mutually agreed upon solution based on core values and rights dignity, freedom, equality, respect, justice, security, and the absence of violence.
People from all political perspectives throughout the region and world are deeply skeptical of the possibility that this conflict is solvable. There is a strong basis for such perception. The character of the of the conflict, history, belief, identity, the involvement of many players both locally and internationally, the many unsuccessful attempts to achieve agreement over tens of years led by experienced, dedicated professionals and leaders are only some of the valid reasons for deep skepticism.
We aim to bring to the field a first-of-its-kind, apolitical, research-driven model approach to resolution based on previously resolved conflicts and a sophisticated map of all relevant players in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. As part of this, we seek to initiative a learning process that will engage a wide range of stakeholders from across the political, religious, cultural and professional spectrums to contribute valuable perspectives and insights to this process—including academics and practitioners, local and international experts and vast and diverse networks of citizens, activists and professionals. We believe this will enable us to create a unique learning process and craft new ways of thinking and new paradigms that will end up being owned by vast inclusive groups of stake holders.

We are interested in building collaborative efforts with other NGOs in the field. Our cross-border base (we are effectively BOTH an Israeli and Palestinian network) makes it vitally important for us to be linked into the vibrant regional networks and partnerships out in the field who would be able to both connect us to additional civil society and nongovernmental actors across the region and keep us informed of the important initiatives taking place in the region. ALF is an obvious choice.
