During an extended period of war and heightened societal division, a cross‑sector Israeli leadership network reconvened to discuss how various segments of Israeli society perceive the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict.
On Tuesday, over 150 public figures from the TEMA Leadership Network assembled in Tel Aviv at the Council for a Beautiful Israel, a conference organized by TEMA.
At the conference, TEMA unveiled a year‑long study examining Israeli attitudes toward the conflict.
The organization aims to promote dialogue among Israelis from all backgrounds, fostering an inclusive conversation about Israel’s future relations with the Palestinians and developing shared language, understanding, and practical initiatives based on the community’s varied values, identities, and aspirations.
It brings together influential figures from diverse Israeli communities, including Religious Zionists, Arab Israelis, ultra‑Orthodox (haredi) groups, traditional and secular populations, and others.
The event showcased a year‑long study titled “Spectrum of Worldviews,” which maps how various Israeli societal groups perceive the conflict across multiple dimensions, such as the Israeli‑Palestinian dispute, the broader Middle East tensions, Jewish‑Arab relations, and Jewish‑Muslim relations.
The report does not claim to represent all sectors of Israeli society; rather, TEMA says it provides insight into leadership discussions, exploring how identity, trauma, politics, and personal experience influence attitudes toward the conflict.
The event also included an intergenerational open discussion featuring young leaders from TEMA’s youth cohort, offering insight into how Israel’s next generation perceives the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict.
