Palestinians' Anger Shifts from Hamas to Israel

A recent public opinion poll conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) revealed that 75% of Palestinians support Hamas's violent actions, including rape and beheadings, while only 13% disapprove. The poll also showed that support for Hamas is even higher in the West Bank than in the Gaza Strip, and that a majority of Palestinians reject both the "one-state" and "two-state" solutions, instead demanding the entire territory of Israel. These findings challenge the claims made by the Biden administration and European governments that Hamas does not represent the majority of Palestinians and highlight the deep anti-Israel sentiment among Palestinians.
