(Hebrew for "City of nations" or "City of peoples") An Israeli nonprofit organization founded in 2000 with the vision of making Jerusalem a more viable and equitable city for all its residents, both Jewish Israelis and Palestinians. The organization monitors and reports anything it believes could hinder political negotiations on Jerusalem, including the building of Jewish Israeli settlements and Palestinian land expropriation by Israel in the greater Jerusalem area. Ir Amim also conducts study tours and works to build up Palestinian socio-economic institutions in East Jerusalem.
