This article is about the Jerusalem-based Arab Thought Forum ("Al-Multaqa"), not to be confused with the Amman-based Arab Thought Forum (Шаблон:Lang-ar).

The Arab Thought Forum (Шаблон:Lang-ar; also known as Al-Multaqa[1]) was a Palestinian civil society organization active in the fields of politics, development, and the arts.[2][3][4][5]

Background

Arab Thought Forum was founded in Jerusalem in 1977 and was closely affiliated with the National Guidance Committee; it was also generally considered supportive of the PLO.[2]

The Forum aimed to "resist relations of dependence imposed by Israel on the Palestinian economy."[3] It also sponsored one of the first literature festivals in the West Bank.[2] In later years, its areas of focus have been described as including "the future of Jerusalem, democratization and nation building, and development."[2]

Leading figures in the original formation of the Forum included Mahdi Abd al Hadi and Ibrahim Dakkak.[2] Haydar Abd Al Shafi was another prominent member.[6]
