What we do

Turning principles into workable policy.

Discrete dialogue, careful planning, and coalitions that outlast any single negotiation — the groundwork a two-state reality will require.

Our approach

Three lines of work, one objective.

ECF works with former senior officials and experts from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt and Jordan to develop forward-thinking ideas — combining knowledge, expertise and creativity to identify initiatives, bridge positions, build coalitions, and inform decision-makers.
