The highly complex ‘tree of influence’, also referred to as an ‘influence map’ consists of five different levels of influence. Descriptors at the bottom are considered to be the most influential. Making progress or achieving results in the bottom descriptors makes it a lot easier to address those that lie higher in the map.
In summary, almost all participants approved that the following factors are the most influential and agreed that further actions must address these root causes satisfactorily:




Obstacle #41 (3 votes): Religious fundamentalists


==Findings' Summary==
Obstacle #5 (6 votes): Lack of strong movement that educates
In summary, almost all participants agreed that the following ideas are the most influential and agreed that further actions must take these ideas into account:<br>


<br>
The results of the obstacle root cause map indicate that the major obstacles in achieving the vision are caused not only by Religious fundamentalists but also by a lack of strong movement to educate people, to change their attitude and their perceptions.
Once again we see that the obstacles with the deepest drive are in a cycle. This means that these two ideas Obstacle #5: Lack of strong movement that educates and Obstacle #41: Religious fundamentalists are tied to each other and if addressed together they will have significant influence on the obstacles above them.
Participants agreed that educating people about peace and getting to know one another’s culture and religion is crucial in moving towards a vision where Palestinians and Israelis may coexist.
Along with the root obstacles, the following ones (positioned above the root obstacles) also indicate the need to be addressed: Obstacle #20: The end of occupation and settlements and Obstacle #15: The controversial issues: Jerusalem and the refugees.  These are obstacles that cannot be transformed easily, however, peace-groups, politicians, and the international community could collaborate to tackle them and maybe then open up the possibilities for the tree of vision to become a reality.
 
In sum, progress is difficult but can be made on different levels and several factors can be addressed through educating people from both communities.


'''Descriptor# 17''': Mutual  agreements  and  programs  in  order  to create mutual basis of understanding.

'''Descriptor# 22''': The fulfilment of Palestinians’ national ambitions.

'''Descriptors#7 (cycle)''': Each  people  dealing  with  the  problems  and desires independently but with cooperation and
mutual assistance. Descriptor# 22: The fulfilment of Palestinians national ambitions, Descriptor# 16: The important thing is that the war is stopped and no more people are killed from the two sides - Palestinian side and Israeli side, Descriptor# 2: Security and sustainable reality for Israelis and the Jewish people, Descriptor# 7: Each people dealing with the problems and desires independently but with cooperation and mutual assistance.<br>
