A diagram of the process used in the paper that this thread announces. The effort consisted of four dialogue cycles with peacebuilders: three uninational dialogues cycles conducted respectively with Israeli Jews, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinian citizens of Israel, followed by a final joint dialogue involving all three groups. Each dialogue cycle involved a process to find common ground among participants followed by a deliberation on the results of that process. The common ground process started with a collective dialogue, then bridging-based ranking was used to identify common ground ’bridging statements’ that were distilled into articulate ’collective statements’ via LLM and reviewed by human experts before being shared back with participants for a final vote.
