The Arab World for Research and Development, which is based in Palestine, surveyed 668 Palestinians in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip from October 31 to November 7, which was conducted through in-person interviews with residents across the West Bank, and in shelters in Gaza. Their sample stretched across all socioeconomic levels, had equal amounts of adult men and women, and was proportionally distributed through the two regions.
Support for the October 7 terrorist attacks was overwhelming, with only roughly 1 in 10 West Bank residents opposing them, and just over 1 in 5 Gazans opposing them. Opposition to the attacks are likely only higher in Gaza because of the retaliation from Israel they provoked.
In both Palestinian territories, roughly 98% said they’re proud to be Palestinian in light of “ongoing events.”
