Mission
The KPF's mission is to anchor the Jewish People’s right to an independent sovereign state in law and state policy. The forum has been promoting the Basic Law proposal: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People. In addition it encourages democratic accountability and judicial responsibility, while discouraging unjust judicial activism and the undue legalization of the public realm. However, The KPF does not come out against the supreme court as an institution and has filed a friend of the court briefs in a number of appeals.
Affiliation
The Forum maintains an open door policy and seeks to form Ad hoc alliances with groups and individuals who are operating to strengthen Israel through ideas and innovation.
