The vast majority of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza believe
that carrying out the Al-Aqsa Flood operation was a correct decision, one
they still support it nearly six months later, a poll conducted between
March 5-10 by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research PCPSR
found.

The results show that 71% deemed the decision to launch the operation as
correct, 72% still support Resistance movement Hamas, and 64% expect the
movement to emerge victorious by the end of the war.

Furthermore, three-quarters of Palestinians who were surveyed said they
believe that the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza "revived international
interest in the conflict," considering that it could lead to "increased
recognition of the Palestinian state."

Since the start of the war last October, the Israeli occupation has worked
relentlessly to expel Palestinians from Gaza, either through horrific
massacres, starvation, and aid blockade, rendering it one of the most
brutal genocides in history.

But after 167 days of the Israeli horrific war, the poll revealed that 70%
of Gaza residents stated that they would not leave the Strip, even if the
wall between Rafah and Egypt collapsed.
A reformed Palestinian Authority?

Regarding the "day after" the war, 73% of Palestinians opposed the plan
that entails the United States and an Arab alliance, including Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, and Jordan developing a vision to strengthen and reform the
Palestinian Authority, return to negotiations based on the "two-state
solution," and achieve "Arab-Israeli peace."

and
the Islamic Resistance in Iraq

launched a phase of operations against the Israeli occupation shortly after
the war on Gaza started, reiterating that their efforts are in support of
the people in Gaza and their Resistance.

When asked about Yemen's role in supporting Palestine, 83% of respondents
expressed satisfaction with it.

However, the poll showed complete dissatisfaction with the United States,
which supported the occupation in its genocidal war on Gaza at various
levels, with only 1% of the surveyed individuals saying they were satisfied
with the US' conduct.
