DON’T TALK ABOUT US WITHOUT US
The Washington Leadership Program Returns in 2027
This summer, young Israeli and Palestinian leaders will come to Washington to build the relationships, skills, and policy experience that shape the next generation of peacebuilding. The program is updated for today's realities and built on years of NSL alumni who are already taking their ideas to decision-makers, including the Irish Parliament.
Your gift will support writing the next chapter for the Middle East.

Women Shaping Peace
Six Israeli and Palestinian women leaders traveled to Ireland to learn from the women who helped build and sustain peace in Northern Ireland. They addressed the Irish Parliament, prompted a formal parliamentary question on Ireland's support for peacebuilding, and are now writing a new chapter of the SHIFT Framework.
NSL Alum Eran Nissan (2019)
NSL Alum Runs for Knesset
NSL is proud to share that Eran Nissan (2019 NSL alum), a longtime civil society organizer and former CEO of the reservists' movement, ran in the primaries for a Knesset seat with 'Ha-Democratim' (The Democrats), Israel's newly unified party of the Zionist left, formed from the 2024 merger of Labor and Meretz.
Eran's candidacy reflects a story we recognized in him from his time in NSL: years of grassroots organizing translating into a decision to pursue change through formal political leadership.
We wish Eran the best in any potential future campaigns, and will continue to highlight our alumni network's growing footprint in both Israeli and Palestinian civic and political life.
Through NSL, voices of next generation Israelis and Palestinians work together to envision a new future.

OUR PROGRAMS
D.C. LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
After two years of virtual programming, NSL is looking forward to re-launching our in-person leadership program in Washington D.C. for Summer, 2027. NSL’s program focuses on the power of stories as a way to empower young people from the region to use their voices collectively and advocate for change. American host families, Congressional work-placements with various Congresswoman and men, leadership training, building allies across the separation wall, and a platform to speak truth to power are the pieces that make NSL unique in the peace-building field.
#SheLeads Gender Lens Leadership Program
Looking back at the past 50 years of negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, we keep seeing the same story - a room full of men making the decisions. Women make up around 50% of the population in both Israel and Palestine but are severely underrepresented in leadership positions. Israeli and Palestinian women continue to be sidelined, silenced, and systematically oppressed. It’s time for women to have a seat at the table and be part of the decision making process.
#SheLeads is a gender lens leadership program that will train, mobilize, and unite women from Israel and Palestine who are committed to becoming leaders in their respective fields, and are interested in building an allyship with each other to expand their perspectives and knowledge.
In partnership with the U.S. Embassy of Jerusalem.
