The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs is a non-profit institute for policy research and education.

"The Jerusalem Center has been a leading voice in the campaign to maintain Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, as a united city under Israeli sovereignty. In his 2007 best-seller, The Fight for Jerusalem: Radical Islam, the West, and the Future of the Holy City, former Israeli UN ambassador and Jerusalem Center president Dore Gold argues that if Jerusalem is to be a free city where all faiths can be practiced, it will have to remain under Israeli sovereignty. (A Hebrew edition is available as of December 2008.)"[1]
