Institute For Palestine Studies

The Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS) is the only institute in the world exclusively devoted to documentation, research, analysis, and publication on Palestinian affairs and the Arab-Israeli conflict. It was established in Beirut in 1963 and incorporated there as a private, independent, non-profit Arab institute unaffiliated with any political organization or government. It is led by a Board of Trustees composed of Arab scholars, businessmen, and public figures, and by a volunteer Executive Committee elected by the Board. IPS’s library, located at the Institute’s headquarters in Beirut, is the largest in the Arab world specializing in Palestinian affairs, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and Judaica.
