The Impact of Israel's War in Gaza on Hamas and the Future

A recent poll indicates that support for Hamas has grown significantly among Palestinians in the West Bank since the start of the war with Israel, suggesting that Israel's goal of destroying Hamas may be unachievable. The poll also shows a rise in support for Hamas among Palestinians in Gaza. The increase in pro-Hamas sentiment in the West Bank is concerning as it may make a peaceful settlement more difficult to reach. The war has strained U.S.-Israeli relations, with President Biden urging Israel to minimize civilian casualties. Israeli leaders, however, seem to be waving off the pressure. The future of the war and the fate of the remaining hostages in Gaza remain uncertain.
