The Regional Organization for Peace, Economics & Security (ROPES) aims to revive momentum toward a historic Israeli-Palestinian peace accord by rallying a powerful regional coalition of rising stars in business, culture, and politics behind a 2030 vision of a new Middle East.
More than three years before the Abraham Accords, ROPES was created with what at the time seemed like a fanciful mission: to expand the coalition for a conflict-ending Israeli-Palestinian peace deal by connecting forward-thinking Israeli and Palestinian emerging leaders with like-minded peers from across the Arab world. Today, as the only Arab-Israeli people-to-people organization that has been working with emerging leaders in the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and several other Arab states, ROPES stands uniquely positioned to help this unprecedented political moment produce the first models of a warm Arab-Israeli peace and, over the long term, to leverage it into momentum for a conflict-ending peace deal that sets the stage for regional integration.
