The Alliance for Middle East Peace (ALLMEP) is the region's largest and fastest-growing network of peacebuilders-- with over 200 NGO members building cooperation, justice, equality, shared society, mutual understanding, and peace among their communities The group first convened in February 2004, at the first annual Middle East coexistence conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. It has since

grown from 14 organizations in 2004 to over 150 in 2021. From the beginning, ALLMEP has furthered its mission by:

Working to open and sustain a dialogue between ALLMEP member NGOs and international government bodies that can support coexistence work. funding of coexistence efforts, as well as funding by private foundations. Each year, bipartisan groups of 35 - 40 members of Congress have supported ALLMEP’s letter in support of coexistence funding and ongoing advocacy efforts toward sustained funding for peacebuilding in the region. As a result of over a decade of ALLMEP advocacy, Congress passed the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA) in December 2020, which dedicates $250m over 5 years to peacebuilding and economic development projects in the region. ALLMEP always keeps its members in touch as they are developing new and expanded programming and facing similar challenges in their work. ALLMEP has organized private meetings, seminars, networking opportunities, and capacity building sessions for its members, including instructional sessions on fundraising, public advocacy, digital media and marketing, preparing grant proposals, best practices in peacebuilding, and much more.

Maoz Inon's parents were killed in the Hamas attack on October 7. Aziz Abu Sarah's brother was killed in Israeli custody.

On this week's The Rest is Politics, they talk about their new book, The Future Is Peace, their work with ALLMEP member InterAct International and why they believe lasting peace is closer than almost anyone thinks.

Together with over 200 Israeli and Palestinian organizations in our network, they are building the foundations for sustainable peace.

They also discuss the recently announced International Fund for Israeli-Palestinian Peace, and the vital role of civil society:
"While our politicians are not there yet, this is where we are as civil society leaders offering this vision... and we are not alone. There are many, many that do the same work. They must work together and to force and to demand from the UK government and policymakers to start investing in peace.... It's not about winning an argument or winning a debate. It's about winning life. And if we'll all work together we can achieve this lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians."

Hope is not an abstract concept: it’s the tangible result of the on-the-ground work that proves life can be different.

For Nivine Sandouka, ALLMEP’s Regional Director, hope is in the evidence. Hope is built by the ALLMEP members who choose to work in solidarity, speak up, and stand up for the people in their local communities whose rights and needs are being systemically denied. The reality on the ground won’t shift in a day, but the sustained, daily work of solidarity makes a tangible difference towards a different future.

In July, ALLMEP members gathered in two regional meetings in Bet Jala and Haifa to work together, share skills, and turn research into action. Here’s a glimpse of what it looks like when our ecosystem gathers and gets to work 🕊️

In June 2026, years of ALLMEP's advocacy culminated in a major milestone when the UK, Canada, and Australia announced the launch of the International Fund for Israeli-Palestinian Peace.

The International Fund is a core component in the fight for peace, equality and justice and reflects a principle at the heart of ALLMEP's work: lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians cannot be built by top-down diplomacy alone. A just and durable peace requires a resilient, well-funded, and organized civil society to build the trust, parallel constituencies, and human infrastructure needed to sustain political agreements.

The story of the International Fund is one of sustained effort, bold imagination, and ecosystem building by ALLMEP and our incredible network of 200+ member organizations.

With the Fund now announced and seed funding secured, ALLMEP is focused on the next phase: growing the fund and ensuring civil society peacebuilders have the stable, long-term resources they need to advance a lasting peace.

Check out the timeline above to see how this vision for peace became a reality 🕊️

Across the region, Palestinian civil society organizations are working to achieve peace and justice to change the reality on-the-ground. Here’s just a snapshot of what 4 Palestinian ALLMEP members are up to:

Jerusalem Center For Women is equipping 80 Palestinian women with dialogue, mediation and trust-building skills to restore civic space.

Combatants for Peace marks 20 years of joint Palestinian-Israeli nonviolent action, including their annual olive harvest in solidarity with farming communities.

UCPiP- Palestine provides protective presence and advocacy for Palestinian communities facing violence – helping families stay safely on their land.

Rozana Health Diplomacy is building bridges in Gaza through healthcare, including a new rehabilitation clinic in Gaza offering physiotherapy, trauma care and psychosocial support.

These four organizations are doing immense work – and are part of a larger ecosystem of civil society who work daily to live and model a better life for peace.

Last week, four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed in the West Bank after armed settlers entered a Palestinian village and the military moved in to protect them - a particularly bloody peak in an entrenched pattern. According to the UN, 18 Palestinians have been killed in settler-linked attacks this year so far, more than all of 2025 combined.

ALLMEP members are responding on the ground: organizing protective presence in threatened villages, mobilizing people to the streets, documenting attacks in real time, and calling on the international community to act.

Here's a few examples pf what our members have been doing this week in response!

Last week, dozens of Palestinian civil society organizations working to achieve peace and justice gathered in Ramallah for one of our regular member meetings, because organizations achieve more together than alone.

At the meeting, we presented our latest AI Pulse public opinion research, which showed that 55% of Palestinians support engagement with Israeli solidarity organizations when familiar with their work; 67% back a regional peace framework guaranteeing sovereignty and dignity; and 51% say visible results matter more than messaging.

Respecting Palestinian agency means listening to the diversity of Palestinian voices, and letting evidence, not assumption, shape strategy. From there, participants set shared priorities and turned research into a plan that can deliver Palestinian liberation and true conflict resolution.

Lasting peace will be shaped by Palestinian and Israeli communities themselves, with local leadership guiding the work every step of the way. ALLMEP Palestinian members are modelling what this looks like.
