In their own words

“Ofek works toward a future in which two independent states– Israel and Palestine –exist side by side in peace and security while providing equal rights to all of their citizens.”

“Rooted in our extensive understanding of developments on the ground, Ofek works to identify new opportunities to promote a better and more just future for both peoples and strives to advance liberal democratic values among the Israeli public. Ofek researches Israel’s evolving policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and examines how they contribute to entrenching the conflict and how they impact both societies.”
