New Story Leadership for the Middle East is a peacebuilding nonprofit based in Washington, DC, focused on developing a new generation of Palestinian and Israeli changemakers. The organization runs an immersive seven-week leadership program in the capital that brings together diverse young peacebuilders from both communities to enhance personal and professional development through narrative storytelling, with the aim of fostering social, economic, and political change in the region. Its work targets young leaders from Palestinian and Israeli backgrounds who are inclined toward peacebuilding, addressing the challenges of bridging divides and advancing constructive initiatives in the Middle East. The organization operates within the international affairs sector and positions itself as a program provider that supports leadership development and cross-cultural collaboration, reflecting its stated mission to equip delegates with tools to influence regional dynamics. A recent development noted in public coverage is a partnership involving Peace Now that aligns with New Story Leadership’s approach to connecting Palestinian and Israeli stakeholders through leadership-focused programming in Washington.
