BACKGROUND
Israel Policy Forum is an educational and policy organization working to shape the discourse and mobilize support among American Jewish leaders and U.S. policymakers for the realization of a viable two-state solution consistent with Israel's security. We do this by educating political and communal leaders on pragmatic policy ideas to improve Israel’s security while maintaining conditions for an eventual two-state solution, and by building consensus in the policy and Jewish communities for these visions and goals. We envision a Jewish, democratic, and secure Israel, and support a strong and enduring U.S.-Israel relationship.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Director of Government Relations (DGR) will oversee Israel Policy Forum’s Government Relations department, crafting IPF’s government relations strategy and managing IPF’s relationships across the U.S. government.
