Gazan support for a two-state-solution doubled since December.
With Israel’s Genocide in Gaza & humanitarian conditions worsening, support for Hamas declines in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; and as support for armed struggle drops in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, support for the two-state solution rises in the Gaza Strip only. Nonetheless, wide popular support for October the 7th offensive remains unchanged and the standing of the Palestinian Authority and its leadership remains extremely weak
The data also showed a clear drop in support for armed resistance as the best means of achieving a Palestinian State from its peak in December.
According to recent polling, the proportion of Gazans who support a two-state solution has nearly doubled since December, from 35% to 62%. The polling, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR), was conducted between March 5 and 10 in the West Bank and areas of the Gaza Strip where there was “no ongoing daily fighting.” The PCPSR conducted previous surveys in September and December 2023, during which the change in support for a two-state solution by Gazans was minimal, 34% to 35%, respectively. Compared to Gaza, support for a two-state solution in the West Bank barely grew, from 30% in Septemeber 2023 to 33% by December and 34% by March. The PCPSR links support for a two-state solution to the feasibility of the solution and the chances of a Palestinian state. The data also showed a clear drop-in support for armed resistance as the best means of achieving a Palestinian State from its peak in December. In December, support for armed resistance across the Palestinian Territories was 63%, 68% in the West Bank and 56% in the Gaza Strip. See the full poll in , In Arabic Here, in English Here
