Our Belief
In a region long defined by conflict and division, the Abrahamic Youth Center for Peace (AYCP) emerges as a bold and transformative initiative, reshaping the narrative against minorities that has been entrenched with hatred, antisemitism, especially against Jews and Israel after the war waged by Hamas against Israel on the 7th of October. Unlike traditional peace efforts that often remain confined to diplomatic corridors and elite circles, we believe that true and lasting change begins with youth—those who will inherit the future and have the power to redefine it.
At AYCP, we do not view peace as an abstract concept or a distant aspiration. We see it as a practical, achievable reality—one that must be built through Muslim youth engagement, integration, and shared progress. Our approach is clear: normalization with Israel is not just a political agreement but a gateway to sustainable development, economic collaboration, and cultural revival. We champion a new model of peace, one that is not imposed from the top down but emerges organically from within societies, led by the very people who will shape the region’s future especially youth resourced that have not been tapped yet..
An Innovative and Realistic Approach to Peace
The conventional approaches to peace in the Middle East have largely been shaped by political negotiations, governmental agreements, and high-level summits. While these efforts have paved the way for important diplomatic breakthroughs, they often fail to resonate with the broader society—particularly with young people, who remain on the periphery of these discussions.
AYCP breaks this cycle by putting Muslim youth leaders across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) at the center of the peace process. We recognize that the next generation must not only be participants but leaders in shaping a future built on cooperation and mutual respect. Through our programs, we empower young voices to become advocates for peace, economic integration, and social transformation.
Why Youth? Why Now?
The youth of (MENA) are often portrayed as victims of instability, economic hardship, and political turmoil. But we see them differently. We see them as catalysts of change, visionaries, and bridge-builders. They are the entrepreneurs driving the digital revolution, the activists challenging outdated ideologies, and the cultural pioneers reshaping narratives of identity and coexistence.
At AYCP, we channel this unparalleled energy and innovation into a movement that goes beyond political slogans and diplomatic formalities. We focus on real-world impact—from creating educational programs that promote shared heritage to fostering economic partnerships between young entrepreneurs in Israel, the Gulf, and across MENA.
This is not just about dialogue—it is about action. It is about creating meaningful opportunities that make peace tangible in the daily lives of young people. By investing in joint business ventures, media collaborations, and cultural exchange initiatives, we are building the social and economic foundations necessary for long-term regional stability.
Normalization: A Shift in Perspective
For too long, normalization has been treated as a politically sensitive issue—one that is either aggressively promoted or fiercely resisted. AYCP takes a different approach. We frame normalization as an opportunity for shared prosperity.
Our work is driven by the belief that regional integration is the key to economic growth, technological advancement, and cultural enrichment. We move beyond theoretical discussions and implement projects that demonstrate the tangible benefits of cooperation. Whether through joint youth-led startups, digital storytelling initiatives, or academic partnerships, we showcase normalization as a practical step toward a better future.
A Future Built on Cooperation, Not Conflict
The world is witnessing a paradigm shift in the Middle East. The Abraham Accords have opened doors to a new reality—one where historical tension can be replaced by collaboration, innovation, and mutual respect. Yet, for this vision to be fully realized, it must extend beyond governments and into the hearts and minds of everyday people in face of the fierce propaganda propelled by the Muslim Brotherhood vision or the Iranian Mullah regime.
AYCP is committed to making this happen. We are not waiting for policymakers to dictate the terms of peace—we are creating the conditions where peace and integration become the natural path forward. For too long, ideas promoted from outside proved to be unwelcome or serving a foreign agenda..
We are reimagining the region. A Middle East where young Iraqis, Saudis, Tunisians, and Syrians see Israel not as an adversary, but as a partner. A region where economic partnerships replace ideological divides, and where cultural exchange fosters deeper mutual understanding.
