Yet, despite the hardships, a majority indicate that they would choose to remain in Gaza rather than leave if given the opportunity
8-26 October 2025

A joint public opinion survey from July 2024 finds that October 7th and the current war produce massive fears of genocide, overwhelming mutual distrust and dehumanization; the events reduce support for a two-state peace solution among Israeli Jews while increasing it among Palestinians, but still only a minority support it on each side. Over 60 percent on both sides prefer a regional peace based on a two-state solution and normalization if the alternative is a regional, multi-front war. Incentives remain capable of reversing the hardline views producing strong majorities among both sides for a peace package that permanently ends the conflict

Palestinian Politics After the Gaza War: Elections, the Decline of Hamas, and Changing Prospects for Israeli-Palestinian Peace
PSR findings point to a Palestinian political landscape in transition. Hamas has lost substantial public support, while Marwan Barghouti emerges as the strongest potential presidential candidate and dissatisfaction with the existing leadership remains exceptionally high. At the same time, Palestinians increasingly question whether armed struggle has delivered meaningful results after the devastation of Gaza, contributing to a notable rise in support for negotiations. Yet this shift remains fragile: most Palestinians still oppose Hamas disarmament before full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, view settlement expansion as undermining the two-state solution, and remain deeply skeptical of both Palestinian and Israeli leadership.
5-8 September 2025
These are the results of the latest poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip between 5 and 8 August 2026. The period preceding the survey witnessed the announcement of Palestinian legislative elections to be held on November 28, 2026, and presidential elections in early 2027. Hamas also announced its acceptance of the Nikolay Mladenov Plan to begin the second phase of the Trump Gaza Plan, including the movement’s relinquishing of its weapons. Israeli elections were scheduled for the end of October 2026. During this period, Fatah held its Eighth General Conference and elected a new Central Committee, while Hamas elected Khalil al-Hayya as head of its Political Bureau. At the same time, settler attacks in the West Bank escalated to unprecedented levels under the protection of the Israeli government, while settlers and the Israeli government intensified efforts to expand settlements and establish new outposts. Domestically, the West Bank public was affected by a major fuel crisis that resulted in long lines of cars at gas stations. Externally, the United States attacked Iran, initially jointly with Israel at the end of February 2026 and later on its own. Restrictions on Palestinian movement in the West Bank continued, with the Israeli army closing the entrances to most towns and villages to prevent residents from reaching major roads. .MORE

After Gaza:
Enduring Consequences of the War and Palestinian Strategy
Khalil Shikaki
The Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, and the devastating two-year war that followed, was not merely another tragic cycle of violence; it was a system-disrupting event that has irrevocably altered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the regional order. Looking toward the next decade, it is clear that the war has shattered the paradigm of “conflict management,” triggered a profound crisis of legitimacy for international law and Western diplomacy, and exacerbated a deep political ....More

A Dual Crisis- Palestinian Public Opinion Amidst Occupation and a Leadership Vacuum:
Palestinian opinion is polarized: the Trump Plan is widely known but support is split, with Gazans more favorable than West Bankers. Majorities back Hamas’s response yet reject disarming Hamas; most doubt the plan will end the war or deliver statehood. A leadership crisis endures—dissatisfaction with Abbas and the PA, Marwan Barghouti leading, and Hamas outpolling Fatah. Since Oct 7, support for the attack persists even as expectations of Hamas victory wane. Gazans are more open to negotiated arrangements;` West Bankers favor armed struggle. Across both, skepticism of external plans coexists with demands for elections and self-defense.
22-25 October 2025
These are the results of the latest poll conducted by PCPSR-Polling and Survey Research in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip between 22-25 October 2025. The immediate period prior to the poll witnessed the announcement of the Trump Plan at the end of September followed by a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel based on that plan. Few days before the conduct of the poll interviews, Israeli hostages were and Palestinian hostages were released by Hamas and Israel respectively. Israel allowed humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip and president Trump announced the end of the two-year Gaza War. Meanwhile, conditions in the West Bank continued to deteriorate due to increased settler violence. ....MORE
Favorability of the October 7 attack, the belief that Hamas will win the war, and support for Hamas continue to decline, but the overwhelming majority is opposed to Hamas disarmament and does not believe that release of the hostages will bring an end to the war. Nonetheless, about half of Gazans support the anti-Hamas demonstrations and almost half want to leave the Gaza Strip if they could. Support for the two-state solution remains unchanged but support for armed struggle drops
