Mission & Goals
Ir Amim (City of Nations/City of Peoples) is an Israeli NGO which focuses exclusively on Jerusalem in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Its mission is to render Jerusalem a more equitable, just, and sustainable city for the Palestinians and Israelis who call it home and to help secure an agreed resolution on the city, achievable only through a negotiated peace process. Ir Amim envisions a Jerusalem that ensures the dignity and welfare of all its residents and safeguards the rights of both peoples to their homes and the city while upholding both their historic, religious, and political attachments to Jerusalem.
