The Middle East Peace Initiative has been promoting peace since 2003 through dialogue, people-to-people diplomacy, fact-finding trips, interfaith pilgrimages and conferences. It brings religious leaders, parliamentarians, academicians, women leaders, youth and civil society representatives together in Israel, Palestinian Territories and Jordan. Forums explore Track II approaches to the crisis in Syria.

UPF's Jerusalem Office for Interfaith and Cooperation among Religions and Office for Peace and Security Affairs convene forums of academics, political and religious leaders, and peace advocates. UPF-Israel organizes culture of peace tours and leadership seminars for international youth.

Watch the Recap of a Recent Webinar:

Cooperation in the Greater Middle East region, between Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates promised and delivered tangible economic and social exchanges. The Accords signified a historic turning point toward regional peace and prosperity. But that does not mean there was no room for opposition. Some predicted that the Accords would be rejected, sidelined or even reversed. Yet in the 18 months since the first agreement was signed in August 2020, much has changed, not least is the perception of the role of the Accords. Please join us as we assess where we stand today and what needs to be done to bring peace to this troubled land.
