The construction of the fence barrier between Israel and the West Bank has progressively eroded spaces for dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis. Mobility restrictions are a crucial aspect of the conflict as well as a serious constraint to peace initiatives in the region. Therefore, the research investigates the impact of the wall and consequent mobility restrictions on the creation and maintenance of spaces for dialogue by local civil society organizations (CSOs), specifically focusing on the work of Israeli‐Palestinian joint organizations. The research is grounded on qualitative interviews with members of local NGOs collected during a two‐month fieldwork in Jerusalem.
