The conference created important links between Palestinian civil society organizations inside Israel with partners in the wider Arab world.
In May, 2010, Ittijah's director, Ameer Makhoul was arrested by the Israeli Shin Bet and accused of meeting with a Hezbollah spy who recruited him to engage in espionage against Israel.
