Survey Research Unit

The Palestinian Center for Policy and
Survey Research (PSR) is an independent
nonprofit institution and think tank of policy
analysis and academic research. PSR was
founded with the goal of advancing scholarshipand knowledge on immediate issues of concern
to Palestinians in three areas: domestic politics
and government, strategic analysis and foreign
policy, and public opinion polls and survey
research. The center engages in several
activities. It conducts academic and policy
analysis studies. It organizes socio-politicalsurveys and public opinion polls on current
Palestinian political and social attitudes. It
sponsors study groups and task forces on issuesof critical importance to the Palestinians.
Finally, it organizes conferences, public
lectures, and briefings on current public policy
issues. PSR is dedicated to promoting objective
and nonpartisan research and analysis and toencouraging a better understanding ofPalestinian domestic and international
environment in an atmosphere of free debate
and exchange of ideas.

Polls
12 June 2024

Public Opinion Poll No (92)More than 60% of Gazans report losing family members in thecurrent war on Gaza, but two-thirds of the public continue tosupport the October 7 attack, and 80% believe it put thePalestinian issue at the center of global attention. About half ofGazans expects Hamas to win the war and return to rule theGaza Strip; a quarter of Gazans expects Israel to win. Increased
demand for the resignation of President Abbas is accompanied
by a rise in Hamas’ and Marwan Barghouti's popularity.
Increased support for armed struggle is accompanied by a dropin support for the two-state solution; more than 60% support
the dissolution of the PA
26 May-1 June 2024

These are the results of the latest poll conducted by the PalestinianCenter for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip between May 26 and June 1, 2024. The period prior to
the poll witnessed the continuation and expansion of the war on the
Gaza Strip, to include the ground offensive in the outskirts of the cityof Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the occupation of the Rafah
crossing with Egypt, the control of the Salah al-Din Corridor, also
known as Philadelphia Corridor, and the return of the Israeli army tooccupy Jabalia and other areas in the northern Gaza Strip. Thesedevelopments led to an escalation of humanitarian suffering, and thedisplacement of about one million displaced and non-displaced
people from the Rafah area and shelters to the Al-Mawasi area andother areas from which the Israeli army withdrew in the Khan Younis
area, Deir al-Balah and other areas in the central Gaza Strip. Famine
has also intensified in the northern Gaza Strip and other areas withlittle aid arriving those areas due to the closure of the Rafah crossing
with Egypt after it was occupied by the Israeli army and the inabilityof the US-constructed floating dock in the north of the Strip, whichbecame inactive due to storms. The Prosecutor of the International
Criminal Court (ICC) announced that he has asked the court to issuearrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu andDefense Minister Yoav Galant, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, headof a movement in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar, and the commanderof its military wing, Muhammad Deif. Efforts to reach a ceasefire
failed during this period, despite the continuation of these efforts led
by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, and despite Hamas'
acceptance, in early May, of a ceasefire agreement presented to it by
Egyptian mediators.

Talk of the “day after” continued with little progress due to the Israeli government's rejection of theidea. But talk of the need to reform and “revitalize” the PA led to the formation of a new Palestinian
government, made up of professionals, headed by economist Muhammad Mustafa. Meanwhile,
restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank continued, and the entrances to mosttowns and villages continued to be closed by the Israeli army in order to prevent residents fromaccessing main roads. Settler violence against Palestinian towns and villages in unprotected areas inareas B and C of the West Bank also continued.
To ensure the safety of our data collectors in the Gaza Strip, interviews were conducted withresidents in specific areas where no active combat was present. The areas covered included parts of
the Rafah and Khan Younis areas and the central Gaza Strip and all shelters therein, but not thenorthern besieged enclave and other areas of combat in the central Gaza Strip and in the eastern areaof Rafah. This poll covers all of the above issues as well as other issues such as the domestic
conditions and the domestic balance of power, the peace process and the alternative options
available to the Palestinians in light of the current stalemate in that process.
The sample size of this poll was 1570 adults, of whom 760 were interviewed face-to-face in the WestBank (in 76 residential locations) and 750 in the Gaza Strip (in 75 locations). Due to the uncertainty
about the exact population size and distribution at that moment in the Gaza Strip, we almost doubled
the sample size in that area in order to reduce the margin of error. The total sample was reweighted toreflect the actual relative size of the population in the two Palestinian areas. Thus, the sample used isrepresentative of the entire populations of the two regions. The margin of error stands at +/-3%.

Methodology of data collection in the Gaza Strip:
As we did in our previous poll three months ago, 75 communities were selected from residents ofRafah, Khan Younis, Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and other areas in the central Gaza Strip and fromthe displaced people who were sheltering in those areas under the instructions of the Israeli army, sothat these communities were either "counting areas," according to the classification of thePalestinian Bureau of Statistics, as was done in Rafah, some areas of Khan Younis and the central
Gaza Strip, or displaced communities in built-up shelters, which are schools and other institutions
affiliated with the government or UNRWA, or tent gatherings located in the areas of Rafah, Khan
Younis, Al-Mawasi and the central Gaza Strip. The sample was drawn according to the following
methodology:1) In the "counting areas" specified by the Palestinian Bureau of Statistics, where the number ofthese areas reached 29.
2) In the built-up shelters, a regular random sample was withdrawn from the lists of these centersthat were obtained, representing all the shelter centers in western Rafah, Deir al-Balah and otherareas in central Gaza Strip, Rafah and Khan Younis areas, and the number of these areas reached 20.
3) In the tent gatherings in the areas of Rafah, Khan Younis, Al-Mawasi and the central Gaza Strip,
where satellite maps showing the locations of these communities were relied upon. These areas weredivided into blocks and a regular random sample of 26 blocks was drawn.

2In each "counting area", built-up shelter, or tent gathering, 10 people were randomly selected forinterviews while taking into account gender and age distribution. Refusal to conduct interviews was
9%.
It is worth noting that 51% of the public in the Gaza Strip say they were displaced to their current
location, where they were interviewed, because of the Israeli invasion of Rafah starting on May 6,
while the remaining 49% say they were not displaced to their current location because of thatparticular attack.

Summary of the Main Findings
As in our previous two polls, three and six months ago, most of the questions in this poll, covering
the second quarter of 2024, revolved around the October 7 attack and the subsequent Israel-Hamas
war and the Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, the unprecedented human suffering of the
Gaza Strip's residents, the atrocities of the war, the debate regarding the future of the Gaza Strip after
the war, the possibility of fully invading Rafah and its repercussions, the decision of the Prosecutor
General of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to request the arrest of leaders from Israel andHamas, and public satisfaction with the performance of the various parties during the war. It should
be noted that the samples in all three surveys does not include residents of the northern Gaza Strip
who have remained in their homes since the beginning of the war due to the inability of ourresearchers to reach them and the lack of reliable data on their numbers and whereabouts in that area.
It should also be noted that data from the current poll and the one immediately preceding it werecollected during the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip, while the first poll was conducted during
Israel's release of prisoners from the West Bank as part of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas
and Israel. Apart from the ceasefire, there was no similar development taking place in the Gaza Stripat that time, i.e. the end of November 2023. The current poll, as in the previous two polls, covers theconsequences of the war on the internal balance of power, support for the Palestinian leadership,
Palestinian-Israeli relations, and the political process.
Findings indicate that about 80% of Gazans have lost a relative or that a relative has been injured in
the current war. Nevertheless, two thirds of the public support the October 7 attack and nearly 80%
believe it has placed the Palestinian issue at the center of global attention. Although anoverwhelming majority does not believe that the ICC's decisions, if issued, would lead to the arrestof leaders in Israel or Hamas, a majority believes such decisions could contribute to speeding theprocess of ending the war. Findings also indicate that two thirds of the public expect Hamas to win
the war on Gaza, but this percentage drops to only about half in the Gaza Strip. Also, only half ofGazans expects Hamas to return to controlling the Strip after the war. While the public supports the
text of the declaration of the Arab summit in Manama, the vast majority disagrees with President
Abbas's statements at that summit. Demand for Abbas' resignation is increasing and the findings
show a rise in the popularity of Hamas and Marwan Barghouti. Findings also indicate a significant
drop in in the Gaza Strip in the support for the two-state solution, although about half of the publicbelieves that the Palestinian priority should be ending the occupation and establishing an
independent Palestinian state. By contrast, support for armed struggle rises and support for
dissolving the PA stands at more than 60%.
Humanitarian conditions: We start with the humanitarian and living conditions in the central andsouthern Gaza Strip. There has been a slight increase in the percentage of those who have lost3

relatives in this war to more than 60% and the results, as in the previous poll, indicate that about
80% of Gazans say that at least one of their family members has been killed or injured. The survey
shows improvements in some indicators that have been monitored, such as the possibility of finding
food, but the overwhelming majority still say they cannot reach those places where they can accessfood or water without a great difficulty or risk and that the shelters where they now live lack most of
the basic needs. Thirty percent of Gazans say that the pier established by the US military on the
coast of northern Gaza contributes to alleviating the suffering of the population through the deliveryof humanitarian aid, but a majority says it does not. It should also be noted that there are significant
complaints of discrimination on political grounds in the distribution of humanitarian aid, and that
this percentage has increased to three-quarters in this survey. Nearly two-thirds blame Israel for
their suffering, and most others blame the United States. Putting the blame on Hamas in the Gaza
Strip does not exceed 8%.
Support for the attack on October 7: While overall support for the October 7 Hamas offensive
remains high, it has seen a four-percentage point decline compared to the previous poll, now at twothirds. The decrease in this percentage came from the Gaza Strip, which saw a decrease of 14
percentage points. It is important to note that support for this attack, as we will see later, does notnecessarily mean support for Hamas and does not mean support for any killings or atrocities
committed against civilians. Support comes from another motive: findings show that more than 80%
of Palestinians believe that the attack has put the Palestinian issue at the center of attention andeliminated years of neglect at the regional and international levels.
War crimes: As we found in the previous two polls, three and six months ago, almost all
Palestinians believe that Israel is committing war crimes today while almost all believe that Hamas
is not committing war crimes. Moreover, more than 90% believe that Hamas did not commit any
atrocities against Israeli civilians on the seventh of October. Only one in ten Palestinians have seenvideos showing atrocities committed by Hamas. The results show that those who watched the videos
are about fifteen times more likely than those who did not to believe that Hamas fighters committed
atrocities on October 7. It is useful in this context to mention that Al Jazeera is the most watched TV
news station in Palestine as about 70% chose it as the most watched station during the past twomonths. Due to the current war conditions, West Bankers are more inclined than Gazans to watch Al
Jazeera, with 83% of West Bankers saying it is their preferred channel.
The ICJ and the attack on Rafah: Three quarters of the public expect the ICJ to fail to stop acomprehensive ground invasion of Rafah because the US would protect Israel from the court's
decisions. The percentage of Gazans who believe that an Israeli ground incursion into the entire cityof Rafah will lead to a mass rush of people and displaced persons towards the border with Egypt isrising to about a third today, an increase of 6 points compared to our findings three months ago. Itshould be noted that Israeli tanks had entered the eastern area of Rafah and occupied the border with
Egypt and the Salah al-Din, or Philadelphia, Corridor between Rafah and Egypt before datacollection began for this poll.
The ICC: In light of the ICC prosecutor general's decision to request the court to issue arrest
warrants for the Israeli prime minister Netanyahu and defense minister Galant, and three Hamas
leaders, an overwhelming majority (71%) believes that the Israeli leaders will not actually bearrested and prosecuted. However, just under half believe that a court order for the arrest of
Netanyahu and Galant could contribute to ending the war on the Gaza Strip. A similar percentage)71%) also believes that even if the ICC issues arrest warrants against them, Hamas leaders will not
actually be arrested and tried even based on an ICC decision. A majority in the West Bank and onethird of Gazans believe that the ICC decision against Hamas leaders will only increase themovement's popularity.

Ceasefire and who comes out the winner: Two-thirds said they support Hamas' decision,
announced before the Israeli occupation of the Rafah crossing, to accept the ceasefire proposal
submitted by Egypt. A majority expected Hamas and Israel to reach a ceasefire agreement in thenext few days. As we did in the previous two polls, we asked in the current one who would emerge
victorious in this war, and a two-thirds majority said they expected Hamas to win, an increase of 4
percentage points compared to our previous poll three months ago. It is worth noting however thatfewer Gazans, at just 48%, now expect Hamas to win, a decrease of 8 percentage points compared to
the results three months ago. It's also worth noting that while almost no one in the West Bank
expects Israel to win the current war, a quarter of Gazans expects Israel to win.
Who will control Gaza after the war: Unlike the previous poll, a larger percentage of West
Bankers says today, compared to three months ago, that the Gaza Strip will remain under Hamas’
control, while more Gazans now believe that Hamas will not be the ruling power in the future. In asimilar question, which included speculation or estimates regarding the most likely scenario for the
day after the war, the results were close to the first question, with half of Gazans saying that Hamas
would return to control the Gaza Strip. We asked about the public's opinion of these scenarios. A
little more than half of Gazans said they would prefer the return of Hamas, compared to about twothirds in the West Bank. More than a quarter of Gazans said they would prefer a new Palestinian
Authority with an elected president, parliament and government, an option that was not available inour previous poll.
Deployment of Arab security forces in the Gaza Strip: In December 2023, we asked the public
about its view towards the deployment in the Gaza Strip of an Arab security force, from Egypt andJordan. At the time, we found widespread opposition of 70% to the idea even if these forces were
deployed to assist the Palestinian security forces. In this poll, opposition to such a security force rises
to 75%.
The Manama Arab Summit and Abbas statement: We asked the public how satisfied it was withthe statement of the recent Arab summit in Manama, which demanded an immediate ceasefire in the
Gaza Strip, Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the convening of an international peace
conference. The public was divided into two completely equal groups in terms of satisfaction ordissatisfaction. However, when asked whether or not they agree with Abbas' statement at that same
Arab Summit in Manama in which he said that "the Hamas attack on the seventh of Octoberprovided Israel with more pretexts and justifications to attack the Gaza Strip," more than threequarters of the public said they disagreed with it. A larger percentage, about 80%, said they also
disagreed with President Abbas' statement at the Summit that "Hamas's position rejecting ending the
split and accepting international legitimacy served the Israeli plan to perpetuate the separation of the
Gaza Strip from the West Bank."
Satisfaction with the performance of various parties during the war: As we did in the previous
two polls, we asked in the current one about public satisfaction with the role played during the war
by Palestinian, Arab/regional and international actors. The results show similar levels of satisfaction
to the previous two polls, except for a significant rise in satisfaction with Iran.
✓ The percentage of satisfaction with Hamas and Yahya Sinwar remains very high. By
contrast, satisfaction with Fatah and President Abbas continues to decline. The findings alsosuggests that the public is unwilling to give the new prime minister, Mohammad Mustafa, achance to improve the government's performance, perhaps because he is close to President
Abbas or perhaps the public does not know much about him.
✓ At the regional level, the highest satisfaction rate went to Yemen, Hezbollah, Qatar, and Iran,with Jordan and Egypt far behind them and in low rates. Evident in this poll is the increase insatisfaction with Iran, by an additional 19 percentage points compared to three months ago,probably due to Iran's direct missile attack on Israel in April. But despite this spike in5satisfaction with Iran's role in the war, it is odd that the majority of Palestinians see this
attack as a show or a play rather than an Iranian determination to support the Palestinians. It
is useful to see the division between the West Bank and Gaza Strip on this, with a majority ofGazans, versus only a third in the West Bank, saying that the Iranian missile attack was insupport of the Palestinian people rather than theatrics.
✓ As for international non-regional actors, Russia had the highest satisfaction rating, slightly
more than a quarter, followed by the United Nations, Germany, and the United States.
✓ In the context of the public's perception of the international repercussions triggered by thewar on Gaza, the Palestinian public is optimistic that student protests at American
universities will indeed bring about a change in US policy to make it more supportive of thePalestinian side or less supportive of the Israeli side, with about 70% believing this.
Support for Palestinian factions: When asked which political party or movement they prefer, thelargest percentage (40%) said they prefer Hamas, followed by Fateh (20%), 8% chose third forces,and one third said they do not support any of them or have no opinion. These results mean that
support for Hamas over the past three months has increased by 6 percentage points; support for
Fatah has risen by 3 percentage points over the same period. In the same context, just over halfbelieve that Hamas is the most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people today
while only 16% believe that Fateh under the leadership of Abbas is the most deserving.
Support for Palestinian leaders: At the leadership level, the current poll shows that support for
Marwan Barghouti continues to rise. In a presidential election between three candidates, incumbent
President Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Marwan Barghouti, a Fatah leader
currently in an Israeli jail, Barghouti wins a majority of participants. In a two-way competition
between Barghouti and Haniyeh, the former wins the vote of about 60% of the participating voters.
In an open-ended question, i.e. without predetermined responses, we asked the public to name theirpreferred candidate to be president of the PA after Abbas. Marwan Barghouti came first, with 29%of the public mentioning his name, followed by Ismail Haniyeh (14%), Mohammed Dahlan (8%),
Yahya Sinwar (7%), and Mustafa Barghouti (2%).
Demand for the resignation of president Abbas: Satisfaction with Abbas' performance stands at
12% and dissatisfaction with 85%. About 90% want the president to resign. Today, 94% of West
Bankers and 83% of Gazans demand the resignation of the president.
The new government of Mohammad Mustafa: An overwhelming majority (72%) believes that the
new Palestinian government appointed by President Mahmoud Abbas and formed in March will not
succeed in carrying out reforms that the previous government headed by Mohammad Shtayyeh was
unable to carryout. In all of the reform items we asked about, we found that Gazans are more
optimistic than West Bankers about the new government's ability to succeed, but a majority there
also does not believe that the government will succeed in any of the reforms agenda items.
What the public wants from the PA leadership: We asked the public for the second time since
October 7 what political measures the PA leadership should take immediately to help address theeffects of the current war in the Gaza Strip. We presented the public with three sets of priorities:
reconciliation and reunification of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the formation of a new PA
national unity government, and the leadership and management of humanitarian service delivery to
the Gaza Strip. In the current poll, the percentage that chose the first priority, to achieve immediate
reconciliation and unification of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, has risen to more than half. The
formation of a national unity government “to negotiate with Israel and the international community
an end to the war and the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip in the future,” came second with one-third
selecting it. The rest chose the third priority whereby the PA "leads a campaign to provide

6humanitarian services to the people of Gaza in cooperation with Egypt and the international
community."
Support for the two-state solution: On Palestinian-Israeli relations, the results differ markedly
from the results of the previous poll we published three months ago. Support for a two-state solution
stands at just one-third and a majority says it supports armed struggle. In this regard, it is worth
noting two findings: unlike the previous poll, in the current one, support for the two-state solution
decreased significantly, and support for armed struggle increased. But the decline in support for a
two-state solution came almost completely from the Gaza Strip, a dramatic drop of 30 percentage
points. Despite this, nearly half, in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, believe that the top mostvital goal for the Palestinian people should be an “Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders and theestablishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its
capital.”Support for Armed struggle: When considering three possible options for Palestinians to break thecurrent deadlock in the political process to end the Israeli occupation, current findings point to an 8
percentage point rise in support for armed struggle to nearly one-third; and a 4-percentage point
increase in support for non-violent resistance to nearly half. More than 60% supported thedissolution of the Palestinian Authority, and more than a fifth supported abandoning the two-statesolution and demanding one state for Palestinians and Israelis. Moreover, we we presented the
public with three possible means of ending Israeli occupation and establishing an independent
Palestinian state and asked them to choose the most effective, a little over half chose "armed
struggle"; and a quarter chose negotiations. These results indicate an 8-percentage point increase insupport for armed struggle with support for negotiations remaining unchanged. The rise in support
for armed struggle comes from the Gaza Strip, where this percentage rises by 17 points.
Saudi-Israeli normalization: The poll found significant opposition of three quarters of the public to
Saudi-Israeli normalization, even if it is conditioned on Israel accepting a Palestinian state andtaking concrete and irreversible steps toward that goal.
The fall of the Netanyahu government: The Palestinian public is optimistic that Netanyahu's
government can fall soon and that quick elections will be held in Israel. However, even if thishappens and a new Israeli government is established without Netanyahu, the majority does notbelieve that this government will be willing to negotiate with the Palestinian side to end theoccupation on the basis of a two-state solution.
How to respond to settler violence: Finally, in light of the increase in settler deadly attacks against
Palestinian towns and villages, we asked West Bankers about the most effective, and at the sametime, most realistic, means of combating this violence: To protect their areas, a little less than halfchose to form armed groups by residents of the targeted areas, a little more than a quarter chose to
deploy Palestinian police forces in the targeted areas, and about a fifth said they supported thedemand for the “Israeli army to take effective measures to prevent settler terrorism.” A small
percentage supported the “formation of unarmed groups by the residents of the targeted areas.”
These results show a limited increase of 4 percentage points in support for the formation of armed
groups compared to results obtained three months ago.

1. Support for Hamas’ decision to launch the October the 7th offensive remains unchanged:
For the third time since October 7, we asked the respondents in this poll what they thought ofHamas’ decision to launch the October the 7th offensive. Two thirds, compared to 71% in March2024 and 72% in December 2023, say it was correct. As the figure below shows, the drop in
supporting the decision came from the Gaza Strip. Current support in that area stands at 57%
compared to 71% three months ago and 57% six months ago. The belief that Hamas' decision tolaunch the October 7 attack was correct increases among supporters of Hamas, third parties, those
who do not support any of the well-known political forces, and among who say they would notparticipate in elections if they were held today (82%, 70%, 64%, and 62% respectively) compared tosupporters of Fateh (48%).

Despite a four-percentage point drop in positively viewing the October 7 attach decision, the belief
that the war on Gaza since that attack has "revived international attention to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict and that it could lead to increased recognition of Palestinian statehood" rose by six
percentage points to 82% while only 18% said that it did not do so.
2. Humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip:
64% of Gazans say they have enough food for a day or two; 36% say they don't have enough foodfor a day or two. These results show a significant improvement compared to the results we obtained
three months ago when only 44% said they had enough food for a day or two. It is important torecall that the data collection did not include the northern area of the besieged Gaza Strip which,according to international reports, is currently witnessing a growing famine.
When they need food or water, only 26% of Gazans say they can reach a place where they can get
help. 72% say they can but with great difficulty or risk, and 2% say they cannot. These results reflect
a slight improvement compared to the situation three months ago.
Sixty one percent of all Gazans say a member of their family has been killed during the current war.
In a separate question, 65% say a member of their family has been injured. When combining the twoquestions, the findings show that 78% say a member of their family has been either killed or injured;
only 22% of Gazans say none of their family members have been killed or injured. Three months
ago, 60% of Gazans said that one or more members of their family had been killed in the war and
78% were killed or injured during the current war.

We asked Gazans about the availability of essential needs like water, food, electricity, tents,
blankets, clothes, medical care, and toilets. The percentage of those who said "yes, available"
ranged from 26% for tents to 44% for food. But a larger percentage said they could be obtained oraccessed, but with great difficulty and risk. This was especially the case for medical care, tents, food,water and electricity. The results show that the seemingly unmet needs for most residents of the
Gaza Strip are tents, clothes, blankets, medical care and electricity to charge telephones. These
results constitute an improvement in most of these indicators compared to our findings three months

We asked those in shelters about the identity of the organizers in charge. The majority of the
respondents (53%) said it was UNRWA, 17% said it was government, 15% local Palestinian group,and 11% said other international organization. These findings indicate a nine-percentage point
decrease in the proportion of UNRWA-supervised shelters and an increase in the other percentages,
essentially due to the fact that the number of built-up shelters, such as schools, has decreased while
the number of tent gatherings has increased due to the recent displacement from Rafah to the
Mawasi area.

We asked respondents to assess, based on their personal experience, the fairness of aid distribution
to displaced residents currently in shelters. The vast majority (76%) said it was discriminatory while
only 24% said it was fair. Three months ago, 70% said it was discriminatory.
We asked the public what they thought of the role of the temporary pier, established by the US
military on the coast of northern Gaza, in delivering humanitarian aid. A majority of 78% said that
this initiative does not contribute to alleviating the suffering of the population while 22% said it
does. A larger percentage of Gazans, almost twice as much as we found in the West Bank, says that
the American pier contributes to alleviating the suffering of the residents, 30% and 16%
respectively.
A majority of 63% (compared to 64% three months ago) blames Israel for the current suffering ofGazans in the current war while 22% (compared to 20% three months ago) place the blame on the
US; only 8% (compared to 7% three months ago) place the blame on Hamas, and only 4%(compared to 6% three months ago) blame the PA. It is worth noting that the percentage of Gazans
who place the blame on Hamas stands today at 10% compared to 9% three months ago.
3. War crimes and atrocities:
As we found in the previous two polls, three and six months ago, almost all Palestinians (97% think
Israel has committed war crimes during the current war. By contrast, only 9% (compared to 5% threemonths ago) think Hamas also committed such crimes; 2% think Israel has not committed suchcrimes and 88% think Hamas did not commit war crimes during the current war.
Ninety percent, compared to 80% three months ago, say they did not see videos, shown byinternational news outlets, showing acts committed by Hamas against Israeli civilians, such as thekilling of women and children in their homes; only 9% (6% in the West Bank and 13% in the Gaza
Strip) saw these videos.
When asked if Hamas did commit these atrocities that are seen in these videos, the overwhelming
majority (91%) said no, it did not, and only 7% said it did. As shown in the figure below, the belief
that Hamas fighters have committed atrocities against civilians is higher among those who did watch
videos showing such atrocities (44%) compared to those who did not (3%).

4. Possible ramifications of an Israeli ground invasion of Rafah:
Three quarters of the public expect the ICJ to fail to stop the Israeli offensive on Rafah because the
US will protect Israel from the court's decisions while only 20% believe the ICJ will succeed inforcing Israel to stop its attack on Rafah.
We asked the public to speculate on the likely behavior of Rafah residents and displaced persons in
the event of an Israeli ground tank invasion of that city: would these people in this case rush tosafety on the Egyptian side? 31% of Gazans and 38% of West Bankers say that in that case residents
and displaced people would rush towards the border and cross to safety in Egypt. Overall, 35%,
compared to 40% three months ago, said they thought they would and 62% said they thought theywouldn't. It should be noted that Israeli tanks had entered the eastern area of Rafah and occupied theborder crossing and the Salah al-Din or Philadelphia Corridor between Rafah and Egypt before datacollection began.
5. The International Criminal Court
In light of the ICC prosecutor's decision to request the court to issue arrest warrants against the
Israeli prime minister and the defense minister, an overwhelming majority (71%) believes that thetwo, Netanyahu and Galant, will not actually be arrested and tried while 26% believe they will be.
Despite this, 45% believe that a court order for the arrest of Netanyahu and Galant would contributeto ending the war on the Gaza Strip while 52% believe it would not contribute to ending the war.
Moreover, an identical percentage (71%) believes that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hamas
leader in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar will not actually be arrested and tried even if a decision isissued by the ICC at the request of the Prosecutor General of that court. By contrast, 23% believe
they will be arrested if a decision is issued.
We asked about the impact of the ICC's decision to arrest and try Haniyeh and Sinwar on the level of
popular support for Hamas in the Palestinian territories. Half of all Palestinians (59% in the WestBank and 34% in the Gaza Strip) believe it will increase the popularity of the movement while 15%
believe it will decrease it and 33% believe it will have no impact on the movement's popularity.

68% support Hamas' decision, announced in early May just before Israel's occupation of the Rafah
crossing, to accept the ceasefire proposal submitted by Egypt while 26% (33% in the Gaza Strip and
22% in the West Bank) oppose it. A majority of 58% expected Hamas and Israel to reach a ceasefire
in the next few days while 39% did not expect it.
As we did in December 2023, we asked in the current poll who will emerge victorious in this war. A
majority of 67% expects Hamas to win, compared to 64% three months ago and 70% six months
ago. It is worth noting, as the figure below shows, that fewer Gazans today, at only 48%, expect
Hamas to win compared to the results three and six months ago, when the percentages stood at 56%
and 50%, respectively. By contrast, a larger percentage of West Bankers today, 79%, expect Hamas
to win compared to the previous poll, at 69%. It's also worth noting that while almost no one in theWest Bank expects Israel to win the current war, a quarter of Gazans expects Israel to win.

7. “The Day After:” Who will rule Gaza after the war?
We asked the respondents to speculate about the party that will be in control of the Gaza Strip in the
day after the end of the current war. A majority of 56% think it will be Hamas. However, unlike
previous polls, there are significant differences between West Bankers and Gazans, with only 46%
of Gazans saying Hamas will actually control that area, compared to a higher 62% in the West Bank,up from 59% in both areas three months ago. The current total represents a decrease of 3 percentage
points compared to the results obtained three months ago. Only 4% believe that the Israeli army will
be in control of the Gaza Strip. 11% believe that a new PA with an elected president, parliament, andgovernment will be in control, 6% believe the current PA headed by Abbas will be in control, 7%
believe the current PA but without Abbas will be in control, 2% choose one or more Arab states, and
2% choose the UN.
When asked who the public would prefer to control the Gaza Strip after the war, 61% (71% in theWest Bank and 46% in the Gaza Strip) said it was Hamas, 16% chose a new Palestinian Authority
with an elected president, parliament and government, 6% chose the current PA without Abbas, 6%also chose the return of the PA but under Abbas' control, 2% chose the UN, 1% selected one or more
Arab states, and 1% selected the Israeli army. Three months ago, we asked an identical question, butwith a slightly different set of options. At that time, 59% (64% in the West Bank and 52% in the

13Gaza Strip) preferred to see Hamas return to control the Gaza Strip after the war. Preference forHamas to remain in control of the Gaza Strip after the war increases among the least educated (64%)
compared to the most educated (56%), among supporters of Hamas, third parties, those who do notsupport any of the well-known political forces, and among those who say they would not participate
in elections if they were held today (76%, 61%, 59%, and 50% respectively) compared to supportersof Fateh (44%).

In a similar question that included speculation or estimates regarding the most likely scenario for the
day after the war, the results were almost identical to the question posed above with 57% (62% in
the West Bank and 51% in the Gaza Strip) saying that Hamas would return to control the Gaza Strip.
21% expected a new PA to be established with an elected president, parliament, and government, 6%
expected the return of the PA under Abbas, 2% expected Israel to form local authorities, 2%
expected the Israeli army to take over, 2% expected tribes and families to take over, and 1%
expected multiple armed groups to assume control in the Gaza Strip.
Here too we asked about preferences regarding these scenarios. Preference for the return of Hamas
stands at 59% (64% in the West Bank and 52% in the Gaza Strip). Support for a new PA with anelected president, parliament, and government stands at 25%, and 6% support the return of the PA
under Abbas.

In December 2023, we asked about the public's attitude towards the deployment of an Arab security
force from Egypt and Jordan in the Gaza Strip. At that time, we found widespread opposition,
standing at 70%, to the idea even if these forces were deployed to assist the Palestinian security
forces. In this poll, opposition to such a security force rises to 75% and support stands at only 23%.
8. The Arab Summit in Manama and the Abbas statement at that conference:
We asked the public how satisfied it was with the statement of the recent Arab summit in Manama,
which demanded an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Stripand the convening of an international peace conference. The public was divided into two equal parts:
48% (55% in the Gaza Strip and 44% in the West Bank) said they were satisfied with the statement
and an identical percentage said they were dissatisfied.
We asked the public whether or not they agree with Abbas' statement at the Arab Summit inManama that "Hamas' attack on October 7 provided Israel with more pretexts and justifications to
attack the Gaza Strip." More than three quarters (76%) disagree and only 20% agree with Abbas’
statement.
A larger percentage (79%) said they disagree with Abbas' statement at the same conference that"Hamas' position rejecting ending the split and accepting international legitimacy served the Israeli
plan to consolidate the separation of the Gaza Strip from the West Bank." Only 17% (29% in the
Gaza Strip and 9% in the West Bank) agree with this statement. Opposition to Abbas' statements thatHamas' refusal to end the division served Israel's plan to consolidate the separation of the Gaza Stripfrom the West Bank increases among residents of the West Bank (86%) compared to the residents of
the Gaza Strip (68%), among supporters of Hamas, those who would not participate in the elections
if they were held today, those who do not intend to vote for any of the known parties and forces, andamong supporters of third parties (90%, 80%, 77%, and 69% respectively) compared to supportersof Fateh (62%), and among those who lost relatives in the current war (73%) compared to those who
had no relatives killed (61%).

9. What Palestinians want from their leadership and the level of satisfaction with selected
Palestinian, regional, and international actors:
We asked the public for the second time what political measures the PA leadership should take today
to help address the effects of the current war in the Gaza Strip. We presented the public with three
options: reconciliation, the formation of a national unity government, and the provision ofhumanitarian services. In the current poll, the percentage that opted for “ an immediate reconciliation
and unification of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip” has risen from 42% to 51% today. Second
came “the formation of a national unity government whose mission is to negotiate with Israel and theinternational community an end to the war and the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip in the future,” with
33% opting for it, compared to 37% three months ago. The third option, chosen by only 12%, wasfor the PA to "lead a campaign to provide humanitarian services to the people of Gaza in cooperation
with Egypt and the international community." It is worth noting that support in the Gaza Strip forreconciliation and reunification is higher than in the West Bank, 61% and 44% respectively, while
support for the formation of a national unity government is higher in the West Bank than in the Gaza
Strip, 36% and 29% respectively.
As we did in our previous poll, we asked in the current one about public satisfaction with the role
played during the war by various Palestinian, Arab/regional, and international actors:
1. On Palestinian actors, satisfaction with Hamas' performance increases to 75% (82% in
the West Bank and 64% in the Gaza Strip), followed by Yahya Sinwar (65%; 76% in theWest Bank and 50% in the Gaza Strip), Fateh (24%; 25% in the West Bank and 23% in
the Gaza Strip), President Abbas (10%; 8% in the West Bank and 14% in the Gaza Strip),and new prime minister Muhammad Mustafa (9%; 13% in the Gaza Strip and 6% in theWest Bank). Taken together, these findings, as indicated in the figure below, indicate anincrease in satisfaction with Hamas and Sinwar compared to the situation three months
ago. It also indicates that satisfaction with President Abbas and Fatah declined during thesame period, and that the public is unwilling to give the new prime minister a chance toimprove the performance of the government, perhaps because he is close to President
Abbas or perhaps due to the fact that the public knows little about him.

2. For the Arab/regional actors, the highest satisfaction rate went to Yemen, as we found in
our previous poll, where today it stands at 80% (86% in the West Bank and 71% in the
Gaza Strip), followed by Hezbollah (57%), Qatar (55%), Iran (49%), Jordan (25%), andEgypt (18%). The following figure shows the distribution of satisfaction in the current
and previous poll in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The 19-percentage point rise insatisfaction with Iran is tangible, almost certainly due to Iran's direct missile attack on
Israel in April. The percentage of those who view the Iranian attack as supporting thePalestinian people increases among the Gaza Strip (52%) compared to the West Bank(33%), among the most educated (44%) compared to the least educated (39%), amongsupporters of Hamas who do not support any of the well-known parties and supporters of
third parties (50%, 48%, and 47%) compared to supporters of Fateh and those who say
they would not participate in elections if they were held today (33% and 30%
respectively).
But despite this significant increase in satisfaction with Iran's role in the war, it issurprising that a majority of Palestinians (57%) sees the attack as a show or theatrics
while only 41% believe it was an act of support for the Palestinian people. It is interesting
to see the division between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on this, with a majority of
52% of Gazans compared to only 33% of West Bankers saying it was in support of thePalestinian people.

3. For the international actors, Russia received the highest satisfaction (26%; 31% in the
Gaza Strip and 23% in the West Bank), followed by the United Nations (12%), Germany(6%), and the United States (3%). Compared to our previous poll, the current results
show a 4-percentage point increase in satisfaction with Russia, with the increase comingfrom the Gaza Strip (15 points) while satisfaction with Russia in the West Bank increased
by only two points. Satisfaction with the United Nations has doubled, while remaining
small, and satisfaction with U.S. performance also remains small.

If a presidential competition is to take place between three, Marwan Barghouti from Fatah,
Mahmoud Abbas, also from Fatah, and Ismael Haniyeh from Hamas, participation in the election
would stand at 76%; vote for Marwan Barghouti would stand at 42%, the highest rate since
September 2023, followed by Haniyeh at 27%, and Abbas at 5%. Among those who plan to vote,
Barghouti receives 56%, Haniyeh 36%, and Abbas 6%. Three months ago, support for Barghouti
among those planning to vote stood at 56% and Haniyeh at 32%, and Abbas at 11%.

An overwhelming majority (72%) believes that the new Palestinian government appointed byPresident Mahmoud Abbas and formed in March will not succeed in carrying out reforms that theprevious government headed by Mohammad Shtayyeh was unable to do. By contrast, 21% believe it
will succeed.

2. 74% say it will not succeed in strengthening steadfastness in East Jerusalem
3. 73% believe that the government will not succeed in pushing for reconciliation andunification of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip

optimistic than West Bankers about the new government's ability to succeed, but the majority there
also does not believe that the government will succeed in any of these reforms.

We offered the public three methods to end the Israeli occupation and establish an independent state
and asked it to select the most effective. 54% (52% in the West Bank and 56% in the Gaza Strip)
selected “armed struggle;” 25% (26% in the West Bank and 24% in the Gaza Strip) selected
negotiations; and 16% (14% in the West Bank and 19% in the Gaza Strip) selected popular nonviolent resistance. As shown in the figure below, these findings indicate an 8-point rise in support forarmed struggle despite the fact that support for negotiations did not change; and a 2-point drop in
support for non-violence. The rise in support for armed struggle comes from the Gaza Strip, where
it increases by 17 points.

The poll found significant opposition of three quarters to Saudi-Israeli normalization, even if it isconditional on Israel accepting a Palestinian state and taking concrete and irreversible steps towardthat goal. Only 21% support this process.
The public is optimistic about the possibility of the fall of the Netanyahu government in the near
future and the holding of quick elections in Israel: 63% believe this while 34% do not. However, if
this happens and a new Israeli government is established without Netanyahu, a majority of 54% does
not believe that such a government would be willing to negotiate with the Palestinian side an end to
the Israeli occupation on the basis of the two-state solution while 41% believe so.
In light of the increase in settler terrorist attacks against Palestinian towns and villages, we asked
West Bankers what means are most effective in combating this terrorism that are also the most
realistic and feasible. The largest percentage (45%) chose the formation of armed groups byresidents of the targeted areas in order to protect their areas; 27% chose to deploy Palestinian police
forces in the targeted areas; another 19% chose the demand that the Israeli army take measures to28

prevent settler terrorism; and only 6% chose the formation, by residents of the targeted areas, of
unarmed groups to protect their areas. As the figure below indicates there is 4-point rise in support
for the formation of armed groups when compared to the finding of March, a 4-point increase in the
demand for protection by the PA police; and a 4-point drop in the demand for an Israeli army
measures to stop the settlers.
