Join us in fostering a more inclusive and equitable Israeli society. Our mission is to engage and educate the British Jewish community on the challenges and opportunities facing Arab citizens of Israel, promoting a shared vision of unity and understanding.
Our Background
The UK Task Force on issues relating to Arab citizens of Israel was established in 2010 as a broad-based coalition of 39 organisations, all committed to supporting Israel’s welfare, security, and peaceful existence. Spearheaded by an executive committee, the Task Force played a crucial role in promoting social and political equality for all Israeli citizens — both Jews and Arabs — as outlined in Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
The executive committee was made up of key organisations, including:
These members shared a common goal: to ensure the promise of equality for all inhabitants of Israel.
Creating Change
This table highlights the key milestones and achievements of the UK Task Force over the years, showcasing the impactful work done to support Arab citizens in Israel and foster greater understanding within the British Jewish community.
Our partnerships with Israeli NGOs, collaboration with Jewish schools, and the expansion of youth engagement programs have strengthened the foundations of a more inclusive society in Israel.By 2016, we had successfully reached over 3,500 young people through 100 sessions, reflecting the dedication to our mission.
In 2024, the legacy of the UK Task Force continues through UJIA, ensuring that the core activities and initiatives remain at the forefront of educational and community efforts.
And we will keep pushing forward, committed to making a lasting difference in the years to come.

Highlights from Our Journey
For over seven years, the UK Task Force has been at the forefront of efforts to promote equality and inclusion for Arab citizens of Israel. Through educational initiatives, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, we have helped raise awareness and create meaningful dialogue within the British Jewish community. Our study trips, workshops, and educational events have empowered individuals and organizations to actively engage in addressing social issues and disparities faced by Arab citizens in Israel. By bringing diverse voices together, we have fostered an environment of shared understanding and collaboration.
Our achievements extend beyond awareness-raising; we have helped build long-term partnerships between Israeli NGOs, educational institutions, and community groups in the UK, ensuring that the dialogue and action continue to thrive. We believe that promoting social equality requires not just knowledge, but sustained engagement and commitment from all sectors of society.
As Nelson Mandela once said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” This guiding principle underscores our belief that through education and engagement, we can continue to drive lasting social change and make a meaningful impact on future generations.
