A survey conducted following last night’s press conference by US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows Israelis overwhelmingly support the American plan for an end to the war in Gaza, but doubt it will ever be implemented.
A large majority (71%) of Israelis back the US framework, the survey finds. Support is particularly high among Arab citizens, with 93% backing the plan.
Despite the broad support, however, only 12% of Israelis believe the plan has a high probability or certainty of being carried out.
The survey also shows Israelis are split about Netanyahu’s apology yesterday to the prime minister of Qatar for an Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas political leaders in Doha.
Roughly half of Israelis view it as the right move, given Qatar’s importance in ending the war and bringing about better ties with Israel’s neighbors; right-wing voters, however, largely opposed the apology, according to the survey.
The study, carried out by Nimrod Nir & Gayil Talshir from the Agam Institute and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, surveyed 847 adult respondents representing the Israeli population. Its margin of error is 4.2%.
