About the Israel West Institute

The Israel West Institute is an independent research, policy and media organisation examining Israel's relationships with the United States, Europe, the Middle East and the wider international system. We combine current analysis with evergreen briefings, structured research, public-interest tools and data-led products designed to remain useful beyond a single news cycle.

Who we are

IWI currently has a 15-person team working across research, editorial, audience, community and technology. We are still a young organisation, but we are building for institutional scale rather than operating as a conventional publication alone.

Our current readership is growing quickly as our research library and audience expand. We do not publish an unverified headline audience figure. Our stated growth ambition is to build IWI toward 3 million monthly visitors within the next six months, supported by stronger research products, technical infrastructure, search discovery and direct audience channels.

We are actively expanding the team. Current openings include a Software Engineer, a Journalist and a Volunteer Community Builder.

What we publish

Our work spans foreign policy, security, trade, technology, antisemitism, diplomacy, political economy and regional affairs. We publish both timely analysis and products that are meant to become permanent reference infrastructure.

Funding and independence

IWI is funded through a mix of donations and supporters, investment into the organisation and its growth, and advertising and commercial partnerships.

These revenue streams support our research, editorial work, technology, audience development and operating costs. Funding does not purchase editorial conclusions. Advertisers and commercial partners do not receive approval over independent editorial coverage, and paid or sponsored material is intended to be clearly identified as such.

We believe transparency about how the organisation is funded is part of maintaining reader trust, especially for a publication working on politically contested subjects.

Editorial standards

Our aim is to distinguish factual reporting, analysis and institutional explanation as clearly as possible. We prioritise primary sources where available, including government publications, legislation, official datasets, regulatory material, international institutions, company disclosures and original documents.

Where sources disagree or methodologies differ, our job is to show that difference rather than flatten it into a single unsupported number. This is particularly important in comparative research products such as the Antisemitism Tracker.

Corrections and updates

We correct factual errors when identified and update research products as underlying evidence changes. Where a change materially alters the interpretation of a piece, the update should be visible to readers rather than silently rewriting the record.

AI-assisted tools

We may use AI-assisted systems for research support, classification, internal linking, document processing and workflow automation. Editorial responsibility remains with the human team. AI output is not treated as a source in itself.

Our locations
