More than two years of war on multiple fronts has been marked by shifts in political self-identification among Israeli Jews, a new study has found, along with changes in religiosity.

This week, the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) released a report on religious observance and political identity in Israel since October 7, 2023, noting a marked rightward shift among Israeli Jews, and an increase in the percentage of Israelis – both Jews and Arabs – who said they engaged in religious practices.

While the study said the political and religious shifts were noticeable among the general population, they were strongest among the 18-24 age cohort.
