Ir Amim (Hebrew: עיר עמים, meaning 'City of Peoples' or 'City of Nations') is an Israeli human rights non-profit organization founded in 2004, with roots dating back to 2000 when it began as an initiative. It focuses on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Jerusalem, advocating for the city's role as a shared capital in a future two-state solution achieved through a negotiated peace process. The organization monitors planning policies, settlement activities, and equality issues, particularly in East Jerusalem neighborhoods such as Silwan and the City of David area. Ir Amim works to ensure the dignity, welfare, and equal rights of all residents, while safeguarding holy places, historical, and cultural heritage amid ongoing tensions. Its activities include policy and legal advocacy, exposing perceived government actions that exacerbate divisions, and conducting guided tours of Jerusalem and the security barrier to raise awareness. Ir Amim has been involved in legal challenges, such as disputes with the Ir David Foundation over activities in the City of David, where it has criticized settlement expansions and archaeological projects seen as advancing territorial claims. The organization is funded by international donors and operates as a human rights NGO, emphasizing transparency and non-violent advocacy. However, it has faced criticism from groups like NGO Monitor for its 'highly politicized' tours and monitoring efforts, which some view as biased against Israeli policies. Despite controversies, Ir Amim continues to influence discourse on Jerusalem's future, collaborating with other peace-oriented entities to promote equitable urban development and coexistence.
