Diplomacy & Policy is TABI’s core research and writing division. Where problems are transformed into thoughtful analysis, policy papers, diplomatic briefings, and practical frameworks for cooperation.
The committee gives young leaders the opportunity to study the Middle East beyond headlines, examine the interests, and institutions shaping the region, and develop pragmatic proposals and baselines for future TABI projects and content for strengthening relationships between Israel, the Jewish world, and neighbouring societies. Through research, writing, and strategic thinking, Diplomacy & Policy helps turn TABI’s vision into concrete pathways for a more cohesive, connected, and forward-looking regional future.

BRANCH Initiative
The BRANCH Initiative empowers young leaders to turn regional curiosity into practical diplomacy. By researching a specific country and developing thoughtful policy proposals for strengthening connections with its people, institutions, and civil society, participants help TABI identify overlooked gaps, unresolved challenges, and untapped opportunities across the region. These insights enable TABI to build more purposeful bridges—designing initiatives that respond directly to real needs and create stronger foundations for cooperation, understanding, and lasting peace.
The Abraham Bridge Podcast (TAB)
As part of TABI’s aim to educate, and insight audiences on peace and diplomacy, Meir Cohen, head of the Diplomacy & Policy committee officially released The Abraham Bridge Podcast. TAB Podcast brings the dialogue to the ears and eyes of all those with an open heart. Through hosting honourable guests and asking sharp and attentive questions, Meir and his committee manage to make the topic of peace, diplomacy and the Abraham Accords interesting and insightful to all.
The Leadership & Responsibility Initiative
TABI’s Diplomacy & Policy Committee plays a vital role in advancing the Leadership & Responsibility Initiative by transforming TABI's values and teachings as something that is practiced, lived and used. Diplomatic engagement is made into practical learning and meaningful action. Through policy research, institutional visits, strategic discussions, and direct encounters with decision-makers, the committee helps participants understand how leadership is exercised, how responsibility shapes public service, and how regional challenges can be addressed with knowledge and integrity. Its work ensures that each experience strengthens not only political awareness, but also the confidence and judgement needed to become responsible leaders.
Writing For TABi
Led by TABI’s Diplomacy & Policy Committee, Writing for TABI gives everyhone the opportunity to examine the world through their understanding, perspectives, beliefs and experiences. The committee helps shape the initiative’s intellectual direction by identifying relevant issues, encouraging informed debate, and supporting contributors as they transform ideas into clear and impactful articles. With guidance from TABI’s Senior Editor, the project strengthens participants’ writing skills while producing work that can inform discussion, inspire new initiatives, and deepen TABI’s understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the region and the Abraham Accords.
