86% of Israelis said that they are not prepared to live in the settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip when the genocidal war waged by Israel against the Strip ends.
According to an opinion poll published on Sunday by the official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, only 14% of the sample surveyed said they were willing to consider living in the settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip, compared to 86% who said they were not ready for that.
According to the results of the poll, only 27% of Israelis, or slightly more than a quarter, said that they believe that “their country won the war against Hamas,” and 35% believe that “it lost,” while the rest do not know.
The answer changes when poll participants are divided between government coalition voters versus opposition voters.
Among coalition voters, 47% believe that Israel won in Gaza, while 48% of the opposition (almost half) say that Israel lost the war.
Survey participants were also asked whether they personally knew anyone who was killed in the war or in the October 7 attack.
12% of the sample of 600,000 Israelis answered that they had lost a family member or close friend, and 36% said that they had lost an acquaintance.
On October 7, 2023, the Hamas movement and Palestinian factions launched an attack on Israeli settlements and sites adjacent to the Gaza Strip, which plunged Tel Aviv into a state of shock and confusion at all levels, amid accusations that the government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, the security system, and the Israeli army had failed to predict it, which Israeli officials considered. The largest intelligence breach in the country’s history.
Hamas said that the attack was a response to the continuing attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against the Palestinian people, their property and holy sites, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem.
With absolute American support, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 138,000 Palestinians martyred and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of dozens of children.
