The Britain Israel Communications & Research Centre (BICOM) is an independent British organisation dedicated to creating a more supportive environment for Israel in Britain. It does this by trying to create a more complete understanding of Israel and its situation. BICOM believes in the right of the State of Israel to live in peace and security, just as it believes in the rights of the Palestinians to statehood. Supporting a close relationship between Britain and Israel, based on shared values and interests, BICOM pursues its objectives through a range of activities.

•	Providing daily, expert news summary and analysis of events in Israel and the region through its online publications.

•	Taking British journalists and opinion formers to Israel and the Palestinian territories to learn about the issues first-hand.

•	Bringing analysts, journalists and politicians from the region to Britain, to share their insights with their British counterparts.

•	Promoting a balanced discourse about Israel in the British media by creating opportunities for a wide range of voices to be heard.

•	Organising events and seminars in the UK aimed at deepening the discussion about Israel in Britain.

•	Engaging in dialogue with British opinion formers and the media on issues of importance to Israel and the Britain-Israel relationship.
