Over 4,000 participants stood together last year to acknowledge the pain of those living on the “other side” and to call for a peaceful end to the conflict.

In the U.S., a group of funders pooled their money to create a matching gift fund to support NIF’s human rights and anti-occupation grantees. Over the course of several months, 1,044 donors answered the call.

Shatil complements NIF’s support by connecting and collaborating across different organizations, issues, and geographical regions.

In 2017, Shatil provided more than 13,000 hours of consulting and trained over 2,500 activists. Shatil’s Free Cities Forum mobilized religious freedom activists in cities across Israel, empowering them to fight back against the exclusion of women from public events and other forms of extremism. Shatil’s Center for Policy Change built a coalition of organizations to oppose legislation like the Nation-State bill, a proposed law that would prioritize Israel’s Jewish character over its democratic character and potentially formalize discrimination against Arab citizens. Zazim members rally to “defend the beaches” and advocate for a law to protect Israel’s public beaches from private interests. 13 NIF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT NIFD When NIF launched our New Initiatives for constituencies that share values with NIF but do Democracy (NIFD) four years ago, we sought to not identify as progressive.

securing housing for vulnerable populations

Thanks to advocacy by Shatil’s Public Housing Forum, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon Housing and Construction Minister Yoav Gallant (both from the Kulanu Party) introduced a one billion shekel plan that would make a minimum of 2,000 housing units available to Israel’s poorest citizens. This plan 14 would also enable more public housing tenants to eventually purchase their homes.

Expanding Access to Healthcare

The Arab-Jewish Forum for Promoting Health in the , a coalition led by Shatil, successfully lobbied the government to open a radiotherapy center in an underserved area of northern Israel. This center, located at Ziv Hospital in Safed, is the only such facility north of Haifa, representing a major step towards narrowing the gap in medical care between Israel’s urban centers and its periphery.

Combating Women’s Exclusion

The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) won a case representing an 81-year-old woman forced to move from her seat to accommodate a male ultra-Orthodox passenger who refused to sit next to a woman. The court ordered the airline to end its policy that allowed flight attendants to ask women to change their seats. This is another victory in NIF’s ongoing battle against gender segregation and the exclusion of women in public spaces. Advocating for Bedouin Children

In a victory for equality, the Be’er Sheva District Court ruled that the Education Ministry must build bus stops next to schools in six Bedouin villages in southern Israel, where previously, Bedouin-Israeli children waited for busses in unsafe conditions next to major roads. NIF grantee filed the legal petition to advance this construction, which will include other safety measures such as protective fences, sidewalks, and pedestrian crossings.

Preserving Land rights in East Jerusalem

After a petition filed by NIF grantee Emek Shaveh, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that public spaces in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan must remain open to the public. This measure thwarted an attempt by Jewish settlers to close off these areas to Palestinian residents, which would have been a precursor for settlement construction and further seizures of Palestinian land in East Jerusalem.

Making All Voices Heard

The Whistle, an NIF grantee that monitors the media for right-wing misinformation, is putting an end to the racist practice of conducting opinion polls of Jewish citizens only. In response to The Whistle’s coverage, Israel Hayom and Globes, two publications which had previously conducted surveys of Jews only, have now begun including Arab citizens. This will help ensure that all voices are heard in the public discourse in Israel. financial statements New Israel Fund Statement of Financial Position As of December 31, 2017 with summarized financial information for 2016 ASSETS 2017 2016
