Jerusalem
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom has been working in Israel since 1983, with a Palestine Desk since 1994. With an Israeli-Palestinian team in a joint office in Jerusalem, the foundation wants to be an innovation platform for social mediation of freedom and strengthen the dialogue with the European Union and contribute to the progress of the Israeli-Palestinian dialogue on the road to peace. Together with our partners, we want to promote fundamental liberal values, the rule of law and democracy, respect for human dignity with civil and human rights, market economy and entrepreneurship as well as a democratic culture of tolerance and pluralism.

With the Omicron variant running rampant and the Corona situation in Jerusalem worsening, we too could not escape the effects of this wave and a few of our team members were also Covid19 positive. 😷😷😷 We decided to take swift action and completely reverted all of our internal and external interaction to online meetings in order to stop this spread. Needless to stay, we did not let this halt our productivity. We continued discussing strategy for our 2022 projects with local partners and with Liberals abroad. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay FREE!
