Gaza - Saba:
An opinion poll has shown broad Palestinian popular support for the resistance's demands in the truce and prisoner exchange negotiations being held in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The poll, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Studies and Research with support from Arts International, revealed that the vast majority of respondents (93.4%) consider the resistance's demands in the negotiations to be humanitarian and logical. They support imposing them in any future agreement with the Israeli enemy and believe they should not be compromised, particularly regarding aid, Israeli withdrawal maps, and guarantees for an end to the war.
The poll was conducted on July 6, 2025, and lasted for four consecutive days. A representative sample of 3,540 people from the areas where displaced persons reside throughout the Gaza Strip was surveyed.
The survey revealed that 80% of those surveyed had at least one relative killed in the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
The survey also reflected the continued decline in the role and status of the Palestinian Authority, headed by Mahmoud Abbas. Eighty-four percent expressed dissatisfaction with the Authority's management and handling of Palestinian issues and matters, and its failure to confront the Israeli government's increasing plans to Judaize and displace Palestinians in the West Bank. This was in addition to the continued political deadlock, despite the Authority's steps toward rapprochement with the US administration headed by Donald Trump.
Conversely, the survey showed an increase in support for the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, over the past three months, exceeding 58% of those surveyed.
The survey also concluded that more than two-thirds of respondents believe that Israel will fail to subdue the resistance and displace the Palestinians.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli enemy, with American support, has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
