The International Forum for Peace was co-founded in 2002 by Ofer Bronchtein, an Israeli and former collaborator of Yitzhak Rabin, alongside his associate Anis Al Qaq, former Secretary of State for Development Cooperation of the Palestinian Authority. Many a personage in the sphere of culture and arts, media, politics and the civil society have joined them to work on encouraging rapprochement and reconciliation.

The creation of the Forum represents a joint action to challenge the inevitability of war and violence in human relations. We endorse all concrete measures that shall serve as the foundation for forthcoming and constant collaboration between the Israeli and Palestinian communities while opening a space for dialogue and cooperation in Europe and the Mediterranean region.
