Israeli consensus on Gaza plan and West Bank support
The new study by the Jewish People's Policy Institute examines Israeli attitudes toward Palestinian and Israeli issues, focusing on the prospects of reaching an agreement with Hamas and disarming it, as well as the future of the occupied Palestinian territories. The study revealed that only 2% of Israelis believe that Hamas will relinquish its weapons and that Israel will withdraw from Gaza, while 55% support the continued existence of settlements under Israeli sovereignty. It also showed that most Israelis do not trust the implementation of an agreement that includes disarming Hamas, and the majority expect the current situation in Gaza to persist, with a 13% chance of escalation. Politically, support for the full annexation of the West Bank is increasing as backing for a settlement diminishes. Over half of Israelis trust the results of the upcoming elections, emphasizing security as a key factor in voting decisions. Additionally, the study indicates growing Israeli support for complete control over Palestinian territories since 2024, with an increase in those favoring expansion, while support for a two-state solution declines. Within the Israeli Arab community, participation in voting is rising, with a focus on the importance of election results for the future of the land and security.
