The work of the Arava Institute is grounded in values of public tolerance, inclusion, environmental justice, climate change resilience, and human rights. We support dialogue and negotiation with our Palestinian neighbors based on a commitment to justice, as a basis for a long-term peaceful two-state solution. The Israeli government policies outlined in the new coalition agreement aim to undermine core democratic values of our society. As such, we stand with all those in Israel and Palestine who join us in working together in support of our shared values.
