In the wake of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, Israeli public opinion has undergone significant changes, according to a new poll released by the Council for a Secure America (CSA). The survey highlights a marked shift in attitudes towards key issues, including the two-state solution and regional relations.
Key findings from the poll include:
The survey also reveals the personal impact of recent events on Israeli society:
Jennifer Sutton, executive director of CSA, commented on the findings: "The October 7 massacre and the war against Hamas have had significant impacts on the lives of everyday Israelis. While October 7 has moved Israelis strongly away from a two-state solution, they remain optimistic about their relations in the broader Middle East."
The poll, conducted by Panels Ltd. from July 8-10, surveyed 612 Israeli Jewish likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 4.0% at a 95% confidence level.
These results provide crucial insights into the shifting landscape of Israeli public opinion, offering valuable information for policymakers and stakeholders in both Israel and the United States as they navigate the complex dynamics of Middle East politics and diplomacy.
