Israel Council on Foreign RelationsFounded in 1989, the Israel Council on Foreign Relations (ICFR) is a non-partisan forum for the study of foreign policy, operating under the auspices of the World Jewish Congress. It aspires to stimulate public awareness of world events and insightful discussion of foreign policy issues, particularly regarding Israel, international Jewish affairs, and the Middle East. It also serves as a forum for the diplomatic, academic, and media communities to exchange views. The Council's publication, the Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs (IJFA), attracts the writings of many of the best-known practitioners and scholars in the field of foreign affairs.
