Israeli, Palestinian majorities doubt there will be permanent peace: Gallup

In Gallup surveys conducted from June through August this year, adults in Israel and Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem largely doubt permanent peace will be achieved.
Nearly two years after Oct. 7, 2023, pessimism about permanent peace persists among residents of Israel and the West Bank and East Jerusalem, with surveys completed before several nations recognized the State of Palestine.
Polling responses indicate only 21% of adults in Israel and 23% of Palestinians believe permanent peace is achievable, while 63% and 65% say it will never come, respectively.
Generational patterns show these views have been stable since 2023, with Israelis aged 50 and older at 26%, contrasting with 49% support among Palestinians the same age, according to Gallup.
Despite slight increases since 2023, overall support for peace and a two-state solution remains limited in both regional public opinion in Israel and the West Bank and East Jerusalem, while international actors and leaders seek to revive the framework.
