The Inter-Agency Task Force on Israeli Arab Issues is a professional resource center that educates and raises awareness about Arab/Palestinian citizens of Israel in American Jewish communities. We take a nonpartisan and educational approach.

With professional staff in Israel and the US, IATF promotes American Jewish discourse and engagement with Israel that is informed by realities affecting Arab/Palestinian citizens and Jewish-Arab relations in Israel. We also connect American Jewish leaders to civil society leaders and organizations in the field in Israel.

IATF is an educational organization. We support full civil equality for Arab citizens as an integral part of Israeli democracy. Our educational activities support American Jewish organizations in learning about and making Arab/Palestinian citizens’ concerns part of their w partnerships, investments and work in Israel. We are committed to an educational and non-advocative approach. This creates opportunities for learning about different ideas, narratives, and perspectives, knowing that listening and learning doesn’t need to mean agreeing.

IATF envisions American Jewish communities as informed and engaged stakeholders who view issues related to Arab citizens and Jewish-Arab relations as integral to Israel's democracy, society, economy, and regional relations.
