TEMA Network presents report on Israeli society's attitudes towards Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Amidst ongoing conflict and societal polarization, an Israeli grassroots organization has presented a comprehensive study examining how different segments of Israeli society perceive the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The TEMA Leadership Network hosted a conference in Tel Aviv where they unveiled the findings of their year-long research, titled “Spectrum of Worldviews.”

The study maps a range of perspectives across Israeli society, including the Religious Zionists, Arab society, the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community, and the secular public. It delves into how these groups understand not only the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but also the broader Middle East conflict, Jewish-Arab relations, and Jewish-Muslim relations. TEMA emphasizes that the report offers a window into discussions among leadership groups, exploring the influence of identity, trauma, politics, and personal experience on these views.

More than 150 public figures from the TEMA network gathered at the Council for a Beautiful Israel for the event. The organization aims to foster dialogue and develop practical initiatives for Israel's future relations with the Palestinians. The conference also featured an intergenerational open conversation, providing insights into how Israel's younger generation views the conflict.

TEMA's work focuses on creating an inclusive and meaningful dialogue, developing new language, and promoting shared understanding rooted in the diverse values and aspirations of Israel's communities. The presentation of the "Spectrum of Worldviews" report is part of this ongoing effort to bring these crucial conversations back to the table.
