This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.The Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM) is a UK-based organisation which acts to promote awareness of Israel and the Middle East in the United Kingdom.

BICOM publishes materials such as briefings and a journal, Fathom, covering the history, economy, culture and politics of Israel, Middle East peace plans, terrorism in the Middle East, UK-Israel relations and foreign policy.

the journal would present a wide range of voices and seek to "paint an honest and nuanced portrait of Israel as it is, even if not always flattering.

As an adjunct to the journal, BICOM ran Fathom seminars for members of the think tank community, academics, and policymakers.
