The author uses literature and interviews to compare elements of the Muslim inter‐clan, mixed‐mode mediation and arbitration tradition of Sulha in Israel's Arab community with comparable elements of Western‐style mediation and arbitration practices. The author uncovers and analyzes the similarities and differences between specific Western‐style and Sulha mediation and arbitration elements, such as confidentiality, venting, and neutrality. Such insights may be helpful when considering possible synergies and points of divergence between Muslim and Western dispute‐resolution practices.
