The Kohelet Policy Forum (KPF or Kohelet; Hebrew: פורום קהלת) is a conservative, libertarian, right-wing Israeli nonprofit think tank established in 2012 and run by founder and chair Moshe Koppel alongside Avraham Diskin, Avi Bell and Eugene Kontorovich. Its goal is to influence government policies within Israel.[1]
In 2023, the organization rose to prominence for its involvement in advocating for judicial reform in Israel and its publication of many of the policy papers that underpin the 2023 Israeli judicial reform. Amid the controversy, which has seen KPF lose its main donor, the organization has attempted to soften its public position on judicial reform. Pursuant to the loss of donations, in April 2024, KPF announced that it would cut about half its staff, although as there is a significant overlap between KPF and the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, it is difficult to determine whether or not this is a form of rebranding.[2][3]
