Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs

Our Vision The Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA) seeks to be the leading address, catalyst, and anchor securing a newer, stronger, and closer Middle East–Israel–U.S. alliance. Our Mission JCFA is dedicated to enhancing Israel’s security through strategic alliances and partnerships with Middle Eastern countries, regional stakeholders, and the United States-led Western alliance, thereby anchoring Israel’s regional role as a force for stability, prosperity, and peace. Why Your Support Matters In an era defined by misinformation and ideological warfare, JCFA stands at the forefront of shaping perceptions, forging partnerships, and safeguarding democracy. Your gift enables us to: • Face Down Disinformation by exposing false narratives in real time across Arabic, English, and Hebrew platforms. • Educate Thought Leaders about the religious and ideological roots of regional conflicts, correcting the record on what truly drives instability. • Engage Government Officials in high-level, face-to-face diplomacy from Amman to Abu Dhabi to Washington, D.C. Every dollar you donate multiplies our reach—turning one share into thousands of informed voices that speak truth to power. Three-Pillar Strategy: Expose • Educate • Engage 2. Expose In the wake of the Iran-backed Hamas atrocities on October 7, 2023, JCFA’s Strategic Influence Media Center mobilized its Arab-language expert team to debunk propaganda and antisemitism. Through concise short clips, in-depth videos, podcasts, and interviews—distributed in Arabic and English—we target lawmakers, media influencers, and grassroots audiences across the Middle East and the West. 4. Educate We challenge the mistaken notion that this conflict is merely political or territorial. Our research-driven content illuminates the religious and ideological dimensions fueling attacks on Israel and the Jewish people. Politicians and influencers alike repost and reference our analyses, generating viral impact that shapes public debate. 6. Engage JCFA’s diplomats maintain direct dialogue with government leaders in nearly ten Middle Eastern capitals. Since mid-2024, our digital influence initiative has generated over 20 million views on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter—in Arabic, Hebrew, and English—building authentic connections and trust. Intelligence & Influence: A Unique Dual Approach Unlike any other think tank in Israel or the region, JCFA combines rigorous, research-driven policy recommendations with high-level diplomatic outreach: • Native-Language Expertise: All interviews and meetings with Arab stakeholders are conducted in fluent Arabic, fostering cultural alignment and receptivity. • Bridge-Building Education: We train Israeli and North American leaders in Arab culture and language, and vice versa—creating a genuine multicultural dialogue that underpins sustainable peace. • Private-Sector & Government Networks: Our team works hand-in-hand with policymakers, diplomats, and business leaders across the Arab world, leveraging personal relationships to advance stability. Spotlight: Strategic Influence Media Center To win the battle of narratives, we’ve built a state-of-the-art Media Center that: • Produces Bi-Lingual Content in Arabic and English to directly counter hate speech and disinformation. • Collaborates with Regional Commentators—non-Israeli experts whose messages carry authenticity across the Arab public sphere. • Drives Grassroots Campaigns through targeted ads, influencer partnerships, and viral social challenges designed to humanize Israeli perspectives and de-escalate tensions. Your funding ensures we can expand these efforts—launching new digital series, hiring additional language specialists, and amplifying our reach to underserved audiences. Our Key Programs 1. “Defensible Borders for Israel” Since 2002, JCFA has championed the strategic importance of secure borders for Israel’s survival. Endorsed by Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu—drawing on the vision of Yigal Allon and Yitzhak Rabin—this concept remains vital despite advances in missile and drone technology. We are now driving legislative resolutions in both Israel and the United States to enshrine border security as a cornerstone of Western democracy’s collective defense. 2. Diplomacy & Regional Normalization Building on the Abraham Accords, JCFA convenes open and discreet meetings, conferences, and high-level discussions—in Israel and abroad—to bring additional Gulf and North African states into the circle of peace. We serve as the principal bridge between the Arab world and the Christian West, ensuring that non-Arabic speakers deeply understand regional developments. 3. The Daily Middle East Brief This flagship bulletin—distributed in English and Hebrew—translates and analyzes breaking news from Arab media and Iran, making complex developments accessible to the global public. 4. Cultural & Language Exchange In partnership with the Israeli government, we host Israeli and Palestinian university leaders for immersive language and culture programs. By speaking each other’s language, participants dismantle stereotypes and pave the way for genuine reconciliation. 5. Countering Antisemitism Long before October 7, our researchers spearheaded a groundbreaking international convention to categorize antisemitic acts as criminal offenses. Today, we lobby at the United Nations and in Western parliaments to adopt and enforce this treaty. Simultaneously, through our “Camp of Scholars” initiative in the U.S., we deploy Arab-language experts to universities—shifting campus narratives and fortifying Jewish communities. 6. “Iran: Beyond the Ayatollahs” Recognizing Iran’s destabilizing role as the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, we produce Persian-language podcasts that showcase pre-revolution life and illuminate the potential for a future free from clerical tyranny. By engaging young Iranians, we empower them to envision—and build—a democratic tomorrow.
