O its 7.1 million people, 75.8 percent are Jews, 19.9 percent are Arabs (mostly Muslim) and the remaining 4.3 percent comprise Druze, Circassians, and others not classied by religion. The society is relatively young and is characterized by social and religious commitment, political ideology, economic resourceulness, and cultural creativity, all o which contribute momentum to its continuing development.
