Poll: 68 Percent of Israeli Jews Concerned over Possible Attack by West Bank Palestinians
(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs) 68% of Israeli Jews are concerned about an attack by West Bank Palestinians similar to the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, according to a survey conducted for the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs on Feb. 11-13, 2025. The survey found that 67% of Israelis oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state along the '67 lines, including 75% of Israeli Jews and 16% of Israeli Arabs. Some 42% of Israeli Arab respondents support establishing a Palestinian state without conditions (a 10% increase from the previous survey). Opposition to establishing a Palestinian state even if the reward is normalization with Saudi Arabia stands at over 60%. 90% of Israeli Jews and 33% of Israeli Arabs oppose Hamas remaining in Gaza as a civil body. 94% of Israeli Jews and 46% of Israeli Arabs oppose Hamas remaining as a ruling military body in Gaza after the war ends. 66% of Israeli Jews and 25% of Israeli Arabs oppose including the Palestinian Authority as part of a future arrangement in Gaza, while 44% of Israeli Arabs favor the inclusion of the PA. 71% of Israelis support establishing long-term buffer zones along the borders of Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza to help prevent future attacks. The findings reflect widespread security concerns among the Israeli public, especially after October 7.
