AI Pulse

Since October 7th and the war that followed, trust between Israelis and Palestinians has reached record lows. At the same time, a return to the pre-war status quo is no longer an option. ALLMEP’s latest research initiative, AI Pulse, connects civil society, peacebuilders, and the broader Israeli and Palestinian publics—groups with few opportunities for dialogue today—to better understand local perspectives, values, and visions for the future, and to come up with new strategies to bring sustainable peace. 

How does it work?

In partnership with the high-tech firm Remesh AI, AI Pulse uses AI-driven technology to facilitate a series of large-scale, structured online conversations. Participants share their perspectives in their own words and language and vote on statements made by others. 

AI algorithms then analyze responses in real time to identify shared values, areas of division, and actionable insights. Learn more in this helpful tutorial from Andrew Konya from Remesh AI.

Our Activities

Phase 1: Civil Society Peacebuilders (April–July 2024)
Who: Over 400 Israeli and Palestinian civil society peacebuilders
What: We conducted three uni-national sessions, followed by a groundbreaking multinational dialogue—the largest of its kind since the war began—bringing together Jewish-Israelis, Palestinians from the Occupied Territories, and Palestinian citizens of Israel. We identified both common ground and points of divergence across key areas such as shared values, visions for the future, and redlines. The findings highlighted the field’s resilience and revealed a strong consensus on key topics crucial for building a transformative movement.
Output: Read the Phase I Summary Report

Phase 2: Broader Public Engagement (Starting February 2025)
Who: Starting with the general public in Israel, expanding soon to Palestinian society, with future cross-border studies planned.
What: We shifted to broader public engagement through a series of uni-national studies aimed at understanding public perspectives on the war, pathways to a lasting solution, and key societal values, among other topics.

  • First Study (February 2025):
    A survey with a representative sample of the Israeli public tested whether the values identified by peacebuilders in Phase 1 resonate with the broader Israeli society. The results are encouraging. While political divisions remain, there is strong support for core values like “Human Life” and “Peace,” and a clear public appetite for action. Read the report here.
  • Second Study (April 2025):
    A dialogue exercise with a representative sample of Israelis explored how the public defines security and their perspectives on a regional normalization agreement, including the establishment of a Palestinian stateThe results challenge common assumptions: only 33% reject such a deal, while the majority (66%) see it as at least tolerable, and over half (52%) describe it as acceptable, desirable, or essential.  Read the report here. 

Coming Soon:

Studies with a representative sample of the Palestinian public are in preparation.
