Israel: national consensus by ethnicity 2024

In January 2024, 43 percent of Jewish respondents in Israel believed that there was a common set of values and understandings shared by most Israelis. This amounts to a 12 percentage point increase from a previous survey conducted in June 2023. In comparison, only 25 percent of Arab respondents agreed that there was such a consensus in January 2024, a decline of 27 percentage points from June 2023. Following the Israel-Hamas war, which started on October 7th, 2023, public sentiment on a 'national consensus' among Jews and Arabs in Israel diverged significantly.
