USPalestine

USPalestine is an advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. that was founded in 2015 by a coalition of Palestinian civil society members, former diplomats, and American progressive activists. The organization describes itself as a non‑partisan forum that seeks to broaden public understanding of the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict and to promote policies that it argues would lead to a negotiated two‑state solution.

The organization conducts public events, hosts panels featuring Palestinian scholars and political figures, and publishes research reports on Palestinian rights, U.S. foreign aid to the Middle East, and the impact of U.S. policy on the Palestinian population. It also engages with congressional committees, providing testimony and briefing materials on issues such as settlement expansion, humanitarian assistance, and the status of Palestinian refugees.

USPalestine partners with a network of international NGOs, universities, and grassroots groups, and runs a monthly newsletter that circulates policy briefs to its mailing list of activists, journalists, and policymakers. The organization maintains a presence on social media where it shares real‑time coverage of events in Gaza and the West Bank.

Critics argue that USPalestine functions as an umbrella for political lobbying tied to a particular ideological stance on the conflict, and they point to its funding sources as indications of politicized influence. Supporters contend that the group provides a necessary corrective to mainstream narratives in American media and contributes to a more balanced discourse on U.S. involvement in the Middle East.

The organization continues to hold educational events and lobbying missions throughout the year, claiming a mission to influence U.S. policy toward a just resolution of the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict.
