Overcoming the Israeli-Palestinian Deadlock

ECF’s Efforts Include:

Enhancing Regional Engagement - ECF works with Palestinian, Israeli, Egyptian, Jordanian, Saudi and UAE actors to identify and advance regional initiatives that could incentivize both Israel and the Palestinians to move towards a two-state solution . ECF’s main focus has been on:
  • Operationalizing the Arab Peace Initiative (API): translating the vision of the API into an operational roadmap for increased regional integration in parallel to progress towards a two-state reality.
  • Regional Security Dialogue - Identifying regional security arrangements that would mitigate respective concerns and meet mutual regional interests in a regional security framework designed to advance security stability in the region.  

The Holy Land Confederation: Israeli-Palestinian track-II dialogue aimed at exploring different forms of a proposed European-style confederation that would be formed between the two independent states of Israel and Palestine. It defines a confederative framework of cooperation and cohabitation that seeks to address outstanding issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to ultimately facilitate the two-state solution.
