Our story began with the realization that while a great deal of valuable work is being done in Jerusalem, the lack of coordination often leads to confusion and inefficiency. Despite the belief in the necessity of collaboration, challenges in communication and coordination persist. The idea for this website was born out of our desire to remove one of the main barriers to partnership: a central platform where organizations and individuals can easily access and share essential information. We are committed to creating a space that fosters clarity, enhances cooperation, and helps everyone in Jerusalem achieve maximum impact. .
At “Maqdisi,” we strive to provide reliable and comprehensive content that covers all aspects of life in Jerusalem, with a focus on issues such as home demolitions, planning and zoning, freedom of worship and movement, property confiscation, settlements, and other topics that reflect the challenges faced by the city and its people.
Our aim is to create a digital platform that brings together reports, opportunities, and various resources related to East Jerusalem. By facilitating information exchange among Palestinian, Israeli, and international organizations, we seek to reduce duplication of efforts and optimize resource utilization. Our platform enables individuals and organizations to access essential information, connect with one another, and work towards a more coordinated future for Jerusalem. .
“Maqdisi” began with a simple idea: the need for an independent platform to document and convey what is happening in Jerusalem, free from pressures and biases. From this vision, the dream became a reality, as a team of media, research, and documentation specialists came together to create content that reflects the reality from the heart of Jerusalem, while preserving its identity and cultural and religious heritage.
