Policy and Survey Research Press Release: Public Opinion Poll (90) published yesterday states (emphasis mine):
‘Wide public support for Hamas’ offensive on October the 7th, but the vast majority denies that Hamas has committed atrocities against Israeli civilians. The war increases Hamas’ popularity and greatly weakens the standing of the PA and its leadership; nonetheless, the majority of the Palestinians remains unsupportive of Hamas. Support for armed struggle rises, particularly in the West Bank and in response to settlers’ violence, but support for the two-state solution rises somewhat. The overwhelming majority condemns the positions taken by the US and the main European powers during the war and express the belief that they have lost their moral compass.’

Here’s Amir Tsafati’s summary :
‘New polling of Palestinian public opinion showing massive support for Hamas and other Iran-backed terrorists.
– 72% of respondents support the October 7th massacre.
– In the West Bank, support for Hamas has seen a threefold increase, with 82% endorsing the October 7th massacre.
– The preference for “armed struggle” has escalated by ten points, now at over 60%.
– Only 10% believe Hamas committed war crimes, with 85% not having viewed any footage from October 7th.
– When considering governance in the Gaza Strip post-conflict, 60% favor Hamas, including 75% in the West Bank but only 38% in the Gaza Strip.
– Among Arab and regional actors, Yemen receives the highest satisfaction rating (80% overall, 89% in the West Bank, and 68% in the Gaza Strip). Qatar follows with 56%, then Hezbollah at 49%, Iran at 35%, Turkey at 34%, Jordan at 24%, Egypt at 23%, UAE at 8%, and Saudi Arabia at 5%.
– If a presidential election were held today with Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh as candidates, the turnout is projected at 53%. Of those participating, Haniyeh would likely receive 78% of the votes, a significant increase from 58% three months prior, while Abbas would get 16%, down from 37%.
