"Friends of the Jahalin" is a volunteer group established in 2017 to raise awareness of the situation of the Jahalin Bedouin communities in the Jerusalem area, from Mitzpe Jericho, and to advance their status by consensus while providing full equality of rights and opportunities for the tribe's members. The group is not a political body and does not attempt to promote a specific political solution. The group has advocated full equality of rights for the Jahalin communities in the Judean Desert, and rejects any reality in which different populations would have different rights under the same government.

The group helps the members of the Jahalin tribe with the hardships of survival, fend off harassment by extremist elements, and supports the preservation of their culture. The group's activities are extensive and include, among other things, livelihood initiatives, promoting issues with the authorities, helping needy families, developing tourism, and familiarization tours.
