The Israel-Hellenic Forum is envisioned as a setting for discussion and action by Israeli, Greek, Cypriot and related academics, intellectuals and other public figures who have shown support, in the public sphere, for the burgeoning relationship solidified in recent years between these three countries – reflected in the regular tripartite meetings between their leaders flourishing state-to-state relations. The Forum is convened by Daniel Mariaschin, CEO of B’nai B’rith International and initiator of the Bi-annual Leadership Mission – Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Dr. George N. Tzogopoulos, Senior Research Fellow, Centre International de Formation Européenne (CIFE); Research Associate, Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA); Lecturer, Democritus University of Thrace.

It is our firm belief that the challenges facing Israel, Greece and Cyprus make it incumbent upon those who seek to promote a peaceful, inclusive and tolerant eastern Mediterranean to promote this notion to civil society, in academia and to the public at large.
