The J Street Policy Center is the “policy shop” of the pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy movement, producing original research, analysis and resources to inform and educate elected officials, policymakers and advocates on issues related to US policy toward Israel, Palestine and the broader Middle East. A program of the 501(c)(3) J Street Education Fund, the Policy Center is committed to convening and amplifying the work of diverse experts who endeavor to drive forward, rather than merely describe the challenges to, diplomacy and conflict resolution in the region.
