92% of Gazans want ceasefire — poll
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 2’s Ehud Yaari quotes an IDC Herzliya poll on Gazan attitudes toward Operation Protective Edge, according to which 25 percent of respondents believe Hamas won the conflict, 8% say Israel is the victor, 14% say it was a draw, and 46% say both sides lost.
An overwhelming 92% of participants say they want a long-term ceasefire, with 72% supporting a peace agreement with Israel. Still, the desire for quiet may not detract from support for Hamas, with 67% saying the group is not to blame for the destruction in the Gaza Strip.
Some 68% say they would prefer the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip over the option of rearming.
