Recent polls conducted on Israelis and Palestinians have shown that both groups share a belief that Israel is unlikely to emerge victorious in the current war, reflecting a growing doubt about Israel's ability to eradicate Hamas.

In a recent poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, it was found that a majority of Palestinians believe that the October 7 attacks by Hamas were the right thing to do.

A recent poll showed that 72% of Palestinians supported Hamas' October 7th attack on Israelis, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed, more than 240 were taken captive, and numerous atrocities were committed.
