Israeli Public Opinion, War and Prospects for Peace

Series

Political strategist and public opinion researcher, Dr Dahlia Scheindlin, shares her analysis of public opinion surveys before and during the war in Gaza.
Israelis have shown increasingly hardline, right-wing, nationalist trends in public opinion surveys in recent years, leading to lower support for peace, or faith that any democratic-oriented solution to the conflict is possible. Have October 7 and the war in Gaza changed attitudes? Which trends have displayed continuity, which public attitudes are new, and what kind of future do Israelis support? An analysis of surveys before and during the war shows that Israelis continue to hold hardline attitudes, but they are deeply divided by identity, religion, age and ideology, and angry at their government. They are also responsive to changes in circumstances, and there are still opportunities to re-build support for peace.
